Over the last couple of weeks I have learned that it takes alot to raise a family and handle school all at once. My kids have constanstly came down colds so I'm going to say that that has been a primary factor for me falling behind but i would not give up taking care of them for anything in the world. My children are my world, I brought them into this world with my own being, I grew them inside of me and there is nothing in this world that is more important to me then they are. My reflection of myself, in my opinion, is being a very independent person with somewhat of a stubborn side..No change that, a very stubborn side- just ask my husband.
I live for my family and thats why i decided to go to school. I want to set a good example for my kids by doing something that can make them proud of me. Yes I have had some times, in the past, not made the best decision for my own personal self- being but now I have a good goal set forward for myself. I tend to be a very driven person when it comes to getting something that i want and I dont usually let anything stop me. I guess whoever came up with the saying " come hell or high water" was a very goal- orientated person and I like that.
My goals in life have been changing for years. When I was 12, I wanted to be an Air Force pilot. When I was 13, I wanted to be an Air Force pilot and a marine biologist. I stuck with that one for awhile. I wanted to be an astonaut, a ballerina, a doctor, an actress, and several other things but for now I believe I have a good goal, a pediatric nurse. Two out of three of my children were in the n.i.c.u. at St.Johns when they were born and ultimately I want to work with newborns there. The nurses there were so great and kind, I completely trusted them with my children. I always want to be the one people can count on and in that time the person you count on the most is the person taking care of your child.
That is my reflection for the moment but I do believe that it will change in the years to come.
Callie - this is a nice reflection about school and home, but what about writing? You will find balance soon I promise. Be persistent. When I was in school, I would go to bed at the same time my little one did and get up at 4am to work on school. It was worth it. ~Ms. A.
