Such a hard thing for me. I am trying to figure out if I should take a break or keep going. I don't even know if I want to be a teacher. I am stuck in a pretty hard spot. I told my mentor that I was going to take a break from school but he wanted to talk to me first but we have not been able to connect yet. I had finished two of my four classes. The other two were ones I have not really studied for. I kind of checked out around Thanksgiving and haven't checked back in yet. AND that isn't good. My term ends March 1st and I didn't study for one of my classes but had to take the test anyway by the 25th of this month. I signed up for it to take on Tuesday and actually passed it. I couldn't believe it....especially since I took the pretest 3 times and didn't pass any of them. Before taking that test I was 100% sure I was done for the moment. I have my AA degree and have been with WGU for a year and a half. I still have until 2017 until I graduate with my teaching degree. PEOPLE....that is a long time to be in school. FOR ME ANYWAY.
Anytime I even start to think about it I almost break into tears. School is so hard for me. I am not a great student and it feels like I am in medical school. I am juggling quite a few things which becomes more difficult but at this point I told my mentor I would stick with it for now and see what the future brings.
All I have ever wanted was to just be a mom. To some that may sound lazy. I don't consider myself that at all. Working full time and trying to be a part of the life of five kids and going to school is exhausting. It is something I never imagined I would be doing at this stage in my life. But I guess we don't always know what life will throw at us and so I say to ALL.....get an education while you are young and before kids if you can.
I am a hard worker and I continually get compliments at work. I get calls constantly from people wanting me to work for them. I know I am good at what I do (and I don't say that to brag). I just don't like the school work and the intense amount of time it takes me to get it. SO yeah maybe I am dumb. But I am a dumb hard worker. :)
