Lately I've been feeling like the whole world is trying to bring me down. I'm doing well in school, but that's not good enough. People in my life(nobody specific) think that just because I'm taking two classes means i should get straight A's and not struggle at all. As a matter of fact, college isn't easy. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself but on the first day of class my English professor said "this is going to be a hard class, if you want an easy A, then leave now". Most professors don't say that on the first day, because its put on a happy face and talk about all the fun we're going to have, but my professor got straight to the point. I haven't done more busy work in his class since high school. We had to read tons of poems from a bunch of dead people. Now we're reading Shakespeare's Hamlet. My professor expects perfection, and hasn't received that from me because I'm not a robot. He wants us to write exactly what he says in perfect sentences. My history professor is completely laid back, he keeps pushing back our midterm essay date, when i turned mine in weeks ago, but there is still tons of reading, and its hard to keep up. I recently got a B on my history exam, the hardest exam of the semester. If i keep the good work up, i can get an A in my history class.
I just got an amazing job through Parks and Recs of Los Angeles, and while its not at JCA Shalom, and i know there will be different situations to deal with, i am really proud that i got this job all by myself, with no extra help. I went into the interview and i can't wait for an amazing summer. Some of family doesn't accept that its a new place. Its not a Jewish camp, and its not in Malibu. I'm fine with both of these facts. I learned so much at JCA. It was a great camp, and i learned about children, and myself. It made me re-confirm that i want to be a teacher, which is a amazing thing. Another plus is that I'm going to be with one of my best friends in the whole world- Christy. We're going to be there together-through the roller coaster of life.
Adventures Await us, Ready or not.
