Think I’d feel less judged in a courtroom:
These last few months have been so challenging, on so many different levels. I am a very verbal person, but that does not mean everyone wants to hear what I have to say….thats lesson one.
Lesson two, some elders will never respect you, regardless of how smart/capable you are…to them you are young and unable to disseminate anything intellectual, these folks are closed-minded, ignore their ways and save your energy.
Lesson three, just breathe, if you are stressed out dont vent to someone who will only adopt the stress and not provide relief/support…because if you do you’ll just add 1 more person to the stress.
Lesson four, this too shall pass. Don’t make permanent choices for temporary situations
Lesson five, you too have things to learn, so be open, but dont just swallow all that’s being fed, find out the why behind what is being taught. It makes you a better a student and a better teacher down the line.
Ive learned a lot more but Ill leave it at that for now. I hope 2012 proves to be a year of great promise, 2011 has brought me great things (greatest of all my son Alhamdulillah). However it was a highly emotional/hormonally imbalanced year too. God willing 2012 proves to be better.
