School (THE STRUGGLE)

My truth #5

I work as a Medical Assistant for a Podiatrist.

 

This semester I’m taking four classes, which I find it very difficult to keep up with all four. I work full time and I don’t have time to do homework or study for a test or quiz. I think I made a mistake on taking four classes but I thought I was going to handle it. What makes it really hard is that my weekends consist of only homework and I don’t have a social life. My family complains that I don’t spend quality time with them, but what they don’t understand is that I work full time Monday-Friday from 9Am-6PM and attend College Monday-Thursday from 7PM-9:50 PM. Also, I feel like I’m slacking off at work too much due to always being tired. There have been occasions in which I will go to bed at 2AM trying to finish essays for my English class. This has been a really tough semester, but I’m glad that it’s almost over. The reason why I took so many classes was because I wanted to finish school faster, and I actually thought I was capable of handling four classes. What sucks is that I don’t even have time to do laundry, watch TV, or to attend the Gym. I leave my house at 8:45 AM and don’t get home until 10:00 pm. Also, I feel like I’m lacking sleep. One of my goals this semester was to get straight A’s, but with four classes I hardly even have time to breath.

What keeps me motivated is when I think about my future. My goal is to finish school soon and continue a career in the Medical Field. I know I’m struggling now but I know that all my struggles will soon pay off. I’m planning on continuing school full time next semester. I feel like I’m over working myself, which is making me age faster, but I want to finish school soon.

Same Sex Marriage

When I was younger I was disgusted and totally against same sex marriage. I couldn’t understand why a man would want to marry another man, or why a woman would want to call another woman her wife. I believed that same sex marriage would affect our society in many ways. I didn’t want it to be an example for any of the kids in my family. I just didn’t think it was okay in any way. Another reason why I was against same sex marriage was because in my culture it is not okay for a man to marry a man, or a woman to marry another woman, so I just followed the traditions and continued a chain against same sex marriage. Also, knowing that it’s against my religion and I was taught for same sex marriage to be a sin.

Now that I’m older, I honestly don’t care if people of the same sex get married. It took many years for me to understand, but I’m glad I looked at this situation from a different perspective. If people from my culture don’t agree, then that’s okay with me. Just because we are from the same culture doesn’t mean I have to follow a chain that has no sense. If the two people love each other then they should just follow their heart. In my opinion, I don’t think people become gay I think they were born gay. We can’t change the way people are, so mine as well support same sex marriage. I just imagined myself in their shoes and finally understood that maybe what they go through is not easy so instead of discriminating person we should just support them. I always thought to myself that if I ever have kids and one of them came out gay I would not know what to do, now I know that if I ever have a son/daughter and they tell me that they are gay I will support them all the way just because it’s their life and I can’t change it just because I’m their mother, and not having your mothers supports is the worst situation ever.  Do you agree or disagree?
