Today for half an hour I had the best time.
I actually learned.
Finally someone acted like a real person and told the truth. 
And for once the truth didn't scare the living shit out of me.
It gave me hope that I wouldn't have to switch what I've always wanted to do. 
Our teachers are either in their first 10 years of teaching or their last 10 years of teaching.
How did I not notice that before?
WHY do people actually get paid to be guidance councilors when they aren't real.
The conversation made me so incredibly happy and not just because of who it was with. But because of what I finally talked about, and how Danielle wasn't the one to bring it up, and how he actually cared enough to map everything he had done to get to where he is now out for us. How he made everything so clear, Finally. How I know that whatever I minor in doesn't affect anything, and that there are three branches that will choose what I will get into and I love how someone finally told me that it didn't matter what I choose right now because I'm too young and it doesm't matter anyway. He was the first one to tell me that I still had atleast three years until I had to decided my future. I no longer have to have that number 120 in my head now, because in a few years it'll be 1120. He shared everything he went through, who knew that you could go through so many courses whenever you wanted to change your lifestyle a little bit.
It's such an easier decision to stay with high school because he'd "want to strangle the kids." I have the best job in the world, look I'm playing road hockey.
Just the other day I was reminded of how amazingly useless our guidance councilors were and just today I found someone better. He started the class, he didn't know he wanted to be a teacher until his third year of University, after he co-oped in a million places. There is so much to do, no more restrictions. Thank fruiting God.
They know that you don't learn nearly as much as you memorize. They know that students have lives and are aware of what happens to them. They know that grade 12 is extremely rushed and that they don't Really know what's coming to them. 
Danielle and I are set, well I am atleast, I expect her to change her mind another few times. Or maybe this straightened things out for her. It had the potential. He even took phsyc classes and hated them! WHAT a guy. 
Teachers are real people. Not many understand, I FUCKING LOVE that I do.
Seriously now.
