(no subject)
ok I need to write cause I have a lot on my mind... I'm getting really pissed at the students who go to Schoolcraft. I'm pissed because they pop gum talk on their cell phones in class and I can't say a damn thing because recently I’ve been walking into class late. Which I know is equally as rude and equally distracting and it really pisses me off that I have been coming to class late. I mean its not like I can't change that but its bothering me that I haven't been because it is so rude. The teacher deserves better than that. GAHHH! I've been really disappointed in myself recently in that way.
I had a talk with a girl who is in this special help program at school. She told me that she was embarrassed to be seen in the area of the building and I asked why. She said that she didn't want people to pity her or people to think she couldn’t do things because she had some type of learning disability and she was in the process of talking her mom out of signing up for the program next year just so if people would never see her walking out of the door. And you know I got to thinking…I of all people know that learning disabilities can’t limit to what you can do in life. But to ignore that you have a problem is foolish and ignorant and this girl didn’t clearly didn’t even recognize that she might have a problem. I mean in order to get into this program at schoolcraft you have to have something. That is a theme that I see a lot around me. People not identifying problems and then they can’t work through the problem. I can recognize that I have learning disability and I can also work around it through it or whatever the case may be. Trying so hard to pretend like nothing is wrong is really unhealthy. There is a difference between owning a learning disability and letting a learning disability own you. This girl was completely obsessed with not letting a learning disability that overcompensated and now wont recognize that she has a problem. I wanted to tell her that everything is gonna be ok, and that she really needed to worry about getting a decent gpa so she could be hired and not have to worry about the thing all together. The program helps you do it. They give you tutoring when you need it, extra time on test if you need it, come up with strategies to help you be successful. That conversation really depressed me… a lot.
Ya know what I don’t like schoolcraft. I find that the overwhelming majority are rude (actually answering cell phones in class… popping gum loudly… and lack any kind of motivation for life) and that frustrates me because its like high school all over again. I did it once I really don’t want to do it again. I know it’s affecting me somehow but I really need to work on not being so mad about the mannerisms of my classmates and just focus on myself. I think I has a lot to do with me being ready for college… experiencing college and then being forced back into a high school/middle school like setting and then me not wanting to adapt to the extreme changes is my area. I will suck it up for a few more weeks and after that I’ll do nothing. Until spring term starts and then I can pretend I’m going to high school ALL OVER AGAIN. But I’m not bitter because I have a 4. in tow of my classes and I paid for a semester what would have gotten me through A day at uindy. Anywho that’s my news for now
