A plan. Finally.

So earlier this week I decided what I'm gonna do with my life. I want to work with special ed. I'm not sure why I didn't consider it earlier... back in 8th grade I found out for one reason or another the special ed kids in our classes were drawn to me and connected with me. Up until senior year I really enjoyed helping out where I could with the disabled students at Lathrop. In my gym class senior year I got away with not doing gym work, and playing ghost pirates instead =P Milo always made fun or me, "They just wanna be around the pretty blonde!" No. I treated them like people. Because they ARE people. Other's regarded them with an awkward attitude if not with cruelty or a strange sense of fear. I cannot stand the way some people treat the disabled... And I want to make a stand against it. I want to do SOMETHING useful with my life and this is the way I think I'll go. I know it's a hard thing to do. I understand it'll be frustrating and sad at times but I've come through enough to deal with that. I used to want to find a career in the medical field. Unfortunately I don't have the focus for the schooling and I'm glad I've realized that now. I have the intelligence to be whatever. But I'd rather do something in life that uses more heart and common sense rather than knowledge. Opinions? I'd appreciate it.

  1. I think that is awesome. UAF has a special Ed Program-Abbey Tsigonis is going through it. You could talk to her :)
