They call it a major for a reason...there a pretty big deal, they determine what you will be forever
So I had one of those moments today... when I fell in love with my majors all over again... Now that may not make sense to most of you- because I am involved with so much in relation to my major. Yet today was the first Autistic Babysitting of the year, and the first one without Heather, Jackie, and Alexis. It was very odd- I spent 3 yrs doing this with them, and now here I was with these new members (most of which were my residents) who know nothing about any of the kids... and I did... and it was just weird to have them asking me questions, but it made me finally FEEL capable... I have known I was capable for a long time, but when it comes down to it I havent been placed somewhere where I felt like I was. Even though people have recommended me fully, and have felt I was- I needed to see it myself, to feel it.
At one point I sat back and sipped my coffee- just to think about the past 4 yrs... and all I have done, and the things that stand out probably aren't the things that my mom would pick out. She would pick out accomplishments like the presidents award, homecoming queen nominee, 3.4QPA, I picked out the smiles- or what it was like seeing someone do something the first time. My first buddysitting...
Then as I was leaving I kept thinking that this is it... four years... and I wont even pretend to admit it was simple- because it has not been, but I loved every smile, every laugh, every hug, and most of my memories... I want to grow up and graduate. But I want to take the Pocono Autism Society, and the CEC with me, oh and Thursday night gym and swims, and even my residents... and... I want what I do without classes...
Alright thats it- and for the record please note I used the subject line...
