reflection....alot on my mind....

Tomorrow (Tues Feb 24), I have one more midterm left to go...Im kinda tired cuz i havent slept much at all , all week, and my stomach is running in circles and causin me grief from those hotsauce, jalepenos, cheese, ranch sauce, and fries I had today, but I still have some fight left in me for one more midterm, so for myself and my friends and family, Im gonna do my best and give em hell and pass this last midterm.I have overcome adversity many times before...and it has only made me stronger, tougher, and more determined.With the adversity thrown my way in the past, a midterm is a walk in the park.The more challenges come my way, the more determined and motivated I become, the more motivated I am, the more fight I have in me.The same goes for that Cortez-Peters typing program....it's hard, but I am one hard assed stubborn redneck from rural Alberta....throw shit my way, and I fling it twice as hard. I am one who tries to figure out problems myself before asking for help..thats how a person learns.Independance is one thing that makes a good legal assistant.As a future legal assistant, I shall serve with honour and integrity. Duty, honour, and courage are only but a few elements that makes a person successful.Kindness and love and respect for one's neighbor, as well as faith in God, makes one whole.One must also forgive those who hurt them and move on.It is hard, I get angry and act upon my emotions at times, and sometimes that results in bitterness and hate.College, so far is challenging in many aspects.....socially,mentally, and physically.....but with the past hurdles I overcame to get here, I have a foundation to stand upon. These challenges, I hope, will make me a better legal assistant and a better person.My father once said, :before you judge or ridicule a person, walk a mile in their shoes".My father has also overcome alot of burdens himself.I look up to him as a good example and so far I am making progress.The kick ass sense of humour I inherited from him, also gives another tool in my arsenal to do well.

A well deserved break-Dad goes to Mexico

Hey.I know it has been a long time since I posted.To update this blog, please let me start off by doing a bit of catch up before I get to the original reason for this post.First off, I just completed most of my midterms and did really well on all of them.I am looking forward to going back to class after a long and boring reading week.
Anyways , I just got news that my father took a trip to Mexico to do some Marlin fishing.He never went on a holiday himself before because he was busy looking after the family. He has helped me get to where I am today, going to Red Deer College.He deserves this holiday.He has done alot for the family and is an example of what a father should be.I hope he enjoys his holiday and I hope he has fun.Lots to look forward to this year.School has been great and the news that my father finally got a well deserved holiday for himself makes things even better.Good for you Dad, Have fun!!:=)
