Jail House Rock: Perspective

Perspective of a lot of things has been coming more clear lately. In the last 20 minutes it has more so clicked in that I only have 20 school/class days left. Nov 30th is my last day of classes, the week following is skills exams, then written final exams the week after. We have quite a bit to get through still. :/ Not looking forward to that part of it. The biggest thing is looking back. From the time I have started to now I have learned sooooo much! I didn't think I could cram that much into my brain but it seems I have. My marks are relatively good, I am happy with them :) For me to think I have been in school for 65 days, and I only have 40 days until my flight back home. It seems like i have missed so much back home and that time has flown by while being here. I hate the fact that I miss so much back home, but I know this is for the better of me and the end results will be worth it.

Another perspective that has come clear to me is the fact that my parents are behind me. I can say that I know some students whose parents pushed them in the direction that they wanted them to go. Now my parents aren't entirely free of that guilt considering I was thoroughly persuaded to try business admin right after high school But they didn't hold it against me forever that, that just wasn't for me. When I decided I wanted to do this they were happy and helped me out whenever I need(ed) it.

Dear Parents,
Steer your child in the direct you see that they want to go. Do not pick their path for them, set the information before them and let them choose. If you force them to do what you want it makes their life a living hell. I have a dear friend going through this, it is beyond necessary for them to have this internal battle with themselves. They want to please you so badly that they sometimes don't listen to what they truly want to do. Therefor making themselves unhappy just to make you happy. My best advice is, know your child. Know them as a person, what they like, what they don't, what makes them truly happy and what frustrates them, don't simplify them. Each person is complex, the more you know them on a personal level instead of just a disciplinary head the more you will be able to help guide them through life.

Well hell week is almost done for me. YAY! Long weekend next weekend. To me that means that it's an extra few days to start prepping my notes for finals. :/ sooo not exciting. Ohh well as stated this semester is almost done!! F ya!

Since I don't get to go out shopping as much as I like, I've resorted to online shopping. Found some killer deals for bathing suit tops and stuff I want for Mexico. Yay!
