In class yesterday one of the instructors said that we should each go home and look at ourselves and think of what makes each of us special. She said this after the first exam of the semester. I'm guessing she felt that some in class were less than happy with their grades. I fell into that catagory. I didn't do horrible on the exam I did get a B. I know I could have done better though and that is why I'm bothered by it. I know I will do better on the next exam though so I'm not too worried.
Anyway, I thought about what she said and have come to the conclussion that I am special because of my ability to not give up. This is my last semester of Nursing School. During that time I've had to deal with issues with my children, my ex-wife, my than girl friend and than my ex-girlfriend and in spite of it all I've managed to succeed.
I would love to sit here and give thanks to a ton of people who have given me moral and emotional support but there are really only a few. Some others may think they helped but in the long run the drama and angst they produced was far more than any help they ever offered.
So now I'm on the verge of Graduating. There will be a pinning ceremony which is a customary way of acknowledging new nurses to the profession and I'm allowed to invite family and friends. I want to invite those people who in some way gave me hope and truly did help me succeed. Right now I can only think of three people.
