The week of April 21st-28th

This week started off super busy.  I had a presentaion in my consulitng class which involved my goup and my self the opporutnity to present our final trainng documents to the class. Then I had my defense on Tuesday April 23rd and that's when all hell broke loose. My defense was a disaster. I was given the ultimtium to write more than half of my critical review over. When I heard this news I thought my world was going to shatter right before my eyes. I felt so overwhelemed, to be honest I felt I was set up for failure.

I am suppose to graduate in one week and the week before graduation, I got news that I would not be graduaitng if I do not redo parts in my paper. I felt extremely frustrated because it seemed as if all of the writing, hard work, begging my roommate and peers to help me with my paper and trips to the writing center was all done in vain becuae more than half the material in my paper was not going to be used in my rewrite.

To be honest after the news I became depressed. I Wrote for hours and hours and hours non-stop. Sometimes I forgot to eat or felt I didnt have time to because of how much work that needed to be put into my paper in order for me to graduate.

At the end of this week, I am in the closing stages of my paper. I have writen more than 26 pages in two days. I am determined to graduate!

Right after my defense I had to go to work, after crying my eyes out at the defense and in my car before I walked into Skyline Middle School. I had to put a smile on my face and still think about the kids that I was going to come in contact with. I had to do my job and put my emotions to the side and that's what I did. My kids made me laugh and really made my day. Once I got home the reality set in and I began working. I have been working every since. Even with all of the stress, I know that God will not put anything on me that I cannot bear, so I'm going to continue fighting to the end.
