So this semester I am taking a few classes in the Human Services Department, which the professors of these classes warned us the first day of class; "that this class would bring havoc down on our family lives". It will help you realize the root of unwanted behavior, but it will also drive your family members crazy! I am so looking forward to this class, it'll be payback. Bwhahahaha!
But seriously, even though I have only had a total of 4 classes, I can see what I am learning about and it is completely awesome! I am also learning that some of the behaviors I do not like are happening because I am allowing them to happen. That negative behavior is re-enforced by our non-actions just as much as our re-actions. And that most of the time, we aren't needed to "fix" things, but just to sit in the dark until they figure it out themselves.
But my favorite part is that I believe I have finally found what the destination of this educational journey is; to become a Counselor of some sort, maybe eventually having my own office, provided I live that long. I did start a bit later than most people do when they have a lofty goal, but I am just as determined to make my dreams come true as any 19 year old.
So we will take each class and each day as it comes, and I will do my best not to overwhelm my family with the new and exciting things I am learning. And I will keep you posted on how my life and the life of my family changes now that is it is on "Human Services". :)
