This post is not a typical break from my creative topic. This post will focus on the my thoughts and feelings I'm experiencing right now. Two weeks ago I had a very busy week, between visiting my sick grandfather dying with cancer, trying to make a get together I have gone to for years, and school, I slipped. I let other things in life take over the most important thing I have going for me, my college, which is my ticket out of the small town where I grew up.
Well the same week I had all those distractions I had two major test and one major paper due. Between earlier this week and today it is clear, school needs to be my number one priority all the time. I had two teachers explain to the classes I am in how the work being done is not college level work. My important note was my teacher flat telling us, the people who failed, that we had no future. I believe he was saying this to scare us and to get motivated.
One can take feedback like this in two ways. The first is to admit defeat and think that teacher's right. The second is to prove to the teacher that he is wrong, take those harsh words as motivation to better yourself and your future.
Ill be damned if I let some discouraging words take me down.
It's on.
