Math has always been a rough spot for me. But this semester I might have a chance to pass it! My teacher is just about as weird and out there as I am so I understand his style of teaching. So far I have turned in all the home work and my lowest grade on them is an 8/10. Test week is coming up the week after spring break and I am a bit nervous about taking his test. If I pass this class, it will be the last math class I will ever have to take!
I had the unfortunate bad luck to discover that I have at least 2 and 1/2 years left in school because of my math problems. Sometimes I just want to quit and move on with my life. Does school really matter all that much? It has always been important to my parents and as equally important to finish school before having children. I feel if I have children in the near future that I will let them down. Granted Shaune and I are not ready to have children yet, but you never know what God will through your way. I know I will finish my degree and this is my life, and I make the choices in it, but I think I tend to let people control my emotions too much. I am burned out from school. I think that I am a great teacher, but because of a math disability and weed out courses, I am afraid I may not be able to live one my dreams. Another dream is to write curriculum books or vacation bible school packages. This would be great! I love creating and coming up with new ideas. In this world now a day, having a degree has become more important than experience. This creates a disadvantage for older people without degrees and have experiences, and people who do not have the income or the extra money to go get a four year degree. Since when did living the American dream include living more than one job and a college education? Has our world just gotten too busy?

Yea for no more math! Math was not my favorite either. I took only what I had to have to graduate. I am not disappointed in my mom who does not have a degree but who is an excellent real estate teacher and has owned her own real estate appraisal company. So, I think your kids love you for you and because you are their mom and you will take the time to read to them and play play-doh with them and do silly games with them. They won't love you because you have some fabulous education. I have a master's degree and I never use it. I am so happy being a mom and wife. But I am glad that I had the chance to try different things in college, too - it made me the mom and wife and adult that I am. Hang in there - an education is never a waste of time. My mother-in-law once told me that education is insurance. She said that if something ever happened to my husband and I had to go to work, then I at least had an education to fall back on. It at least gets you further along in the job process than if you don't have one. It is silly, yes, but unfortunately, it's the way our society works. I don't think you will regret finishing your education. But I do hear women who don't finish say how much they regret NOT finishing (regardless of what they choose to do as a career).
