Thrusday was our last day of fianals!! Thank goodness! But if it were only over..I learned after my first final on friday that I was going to have to fight for the grade I deserved. Never in all my life, have I ever had such a rude teacher like I have had this semester. I have had two teachers tell me to just give up but hers was much deeper and much more hurtful.
I went into her office, after take half the day to think about it and calm down to discuss my grade...as we began talking I realized this was a lost cause and she was not going to move my grade. My heart was broken..after working sooo hard in her class and then finding out that she is not only going to give me a C on my project that deserved a A on but now she is going to fail me. She said to me " Kara, what are your plans? I see that you are in this program..and I see that you have failed another class...are you going to pass that class now..and I said " Well, yes I think so I have worked really hard all semester with that teacher I can't imagine that I am going to fail, did you talk to him? And she was like no, but I just see that you have failed it before. Then she went on to tell me that she sees no future in me graduating from college. At that very moment I couldn't hold back the tears, I have been told this before. My heart broke, I felt as if all my hard work was worthless, why even try? I just said well..I guess I will cross that brigde soon enough and then walked out. I had another final so I had to pull myself together to get through it. I walked outside cryed for a second and pulled myself together and went a took my last final.
Now, I wanted an A on my project and thats what I felt like I deserved, but whatever this was never about the project for her. She didn't want to see me pass her class, she didn't want to help me out at all, instead she broke the law and look at my past records and made all of these past judgements. When someone says your dumb, it stinks with you. It pieced my heart and I will never forget what she said or how she said it. As, if I was a failer in life.
Thrusday was a terrible day, a day I wish never to repeat again. It ruined the day!
AS, I was sharing with someone you must have dreams. If we didn't have dreams then where would we be today. I think all of the people that accomplished something great in this world, it started with a dream. Thomas Edison...prime example. He was poor broke, his lab burned down he had nothing, but he kept going. Rudy, he loved football, he wanted to graduate from college at ND and play football. He only played one game...but he played it. It was a dream. He graduated from college. He accomplished something that everyone said he couldn't do!
I realized more in the past two days, that it starts with a dream. I want to graduate! I want to have a degree..I could care less if I use it, but it's a dream of mine. This isn't everyones dream but it's a dream of mine. Everyone has dreams, you can fullfill them if you chose too, it won't be easy. School is so hard. No one has no idea how it feels to go to school everyday and work so hard and then not get the grades you want. Many days I want to give up, but I made a promise to myself when I was in elementary school and the teacher told me I would never be able to read, and I would never graduate from High School, that I won't to prove everyone wrong. Because I may not be the smartest person in the world, but it doesn't matter because if thats what I want to do then I should do it. And I can do it.
Whoever says you can't do it....forget them and do it. No dreams are ever accomplished easy, they are hard work.
I am done being sad over this...because It doesn't matter I am going to try harder I'm going to do better. I can do it. I've always been determined...and this isn't stopping me now.
DON"T BE DREAM KILLERS!!
