Something in the computer area. I'm not fond of school and keep putting it off, but I love computers and would really enjoy learning more. I keep coming up against walls because I don't have an Associates degree.Biker Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994597212491993059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-54252092713264535032007-01-05T08:30:00.000-08:002007-01-05T08:30:00.000-08:00Congratulations Mr. Althouse!

I really enjoy your blog and you have a wonderful writing style. It is not a bit of wonder that you did so well this semester. I am sure you will handle your last semester with as much gumption as the last.<br />I will be adding this to my favorites and look forward to your next post. <br />Just wanted to say that I was not sent by Michele's blog. I came all on my own.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233017432149796854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-65435103640838023622007-01-05T08:17:00.000-08:002007-01-05T08:17:00.000-08:00Thanks for dropping by my blog.

I regret not quitting a very poorly paying, very unsatisfying internship my Senior year of college. Now you have more time to focus on your last semester and a bright future.

I can certainly understand not wanting to have all that pressure in this last semester...good for you for lining up your prioities and deciding to take yourself our of the pressure cooker---letting go of the "tiger by the tail" takes courage and you have plenty of that!

I have lost count over the number of times I had to send him to summer school for math, as well as have him privately tutored by his teachers. And then he went to college, and it's like his life began there for academics. All of a sudden he's getting A's on everything.... including his remedial math courses. He now qualifies for our state program called Hope Scholarship. What this means is that he can now get his tuition for University for free as long as he applies to any school in the state of Georgia. Whoopie for my bank account!<br /><br />My personal thought on all of this... and your life included: Somewhere, somehow, we all find our niche. It may not be when we most expect it or want it... and we may even put it off a little bit during the course of our life, but it does happen.... and it mostly happens when we have the fire in our bellies to put our nose to the grindstone and apply ourselves when everybody else seems to write us off. Sometimes, a life changing experience (such as you had) is the catapult, and sometimes it's just the belief of someone else believing in you. Whatever the course, the outcome is something to be very proud about. You've earned not only the respect of your peers, you've earned the respect of yourself... a powerful propelling factor that will turn your 25-year plan into a lifeplan.<br /><br />Congrats again... I am so proud of you, my friend! I raise a glass of virtual champagne in your honor.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767057478043796740noreply@blogger.com
