Update! Ramblings...
So, it has been a while since I've gotten on this thing and I'm here to say...well, I've learned a lot; about myself, about life, politics, love, pain...well the list goes on. Sadly, it excludes education. Don't you worry, though, I'm going next semester. Yay!!!
Ok, maybe I should tell y'all that this is just a place for me to spout my opinions. I'm sorry if they're not yours or if you're offended by what I have to say. If you're going to oppose me and you want to tell me about it, go for it!!! Just be nice. I'll be nice back, I promise. If you agree, coolio. You should let me know!
I just hope that I can get my voice out there and prove that not all of us 'Muricans are idiots.
Going into college, I had no idea what I wanted to major in. Guess what! Still don't. However, I do have a nice list (and why I may or may not pursue it). Here goes. Nurse (blood...can't do it. Although, I think I'll test for my CNA. Why not?), MS specialist (by now, you probably know that I was diagnosed (kind of) a few years back, and I've been thinking, "why not specialize in my own disease, eh? Who better to trust than a specialist in her own disease?" Ya get me?), teacher (why would I want to get yelled at by parents for doing my job?), Wedding planner ( I AM SCARY! Get me mad, you better run! I get stuff done...when I put my mind to it. Rare. But it could happen if it was my job. Right?), Financial planner (have you met me? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Although, I'd do a helluva lot better job than the people who are in charge of finances where I work), and most recently, politics (I have awesome ideas, I have good morals and values, and a good family and faith to keep me grounded*). We'll get to that later.
*Disclaimer: I have made a TON of mistakes. I have abandoned my family and my faith and denied the truths that they have taught me, but even in the roughest times of my life, they're what eventually gave me hope and courage to grow up and turn my life around. Work in progress, lemme tell ya!
I wish I knew how to begin paragraphs. I always have this problem. Even when I'm writing in my journal, I don't know how to start; sometimes I'm like, "Sup, Journal?" and other times, "Long time, no...write." or "Ok/so/alrighty/etc." Pretty embarrassing. I'll work on it.
There are a lot of things that I want to change in this world. I'll be the first to tell you that I don't know where to start. Can you agree that that may be what holds a lot of us back from doing the things we dream of? I think YES! Here's another list for ya.
Finances in the state. Here's why... Did you know that our governor, instead of giving a raise to state employees and teachers, actually gave himself a 30%(ish) raise? Uhh...Thanks for the gratitude, jerk. I only take care of the people no one else cared about. And teachers? They are basically raising the future. Don't you think they should get a little recognition? Even if it's only a Christmas bonus? The people who inspired me most in the last twenty-one years I've been alive have been teachers and I bet you could say the same.
Views on drugs, sex, and the loss of innocence. I will tell you that I have dabbled my fair share in all three. Luckily, I stayed far from hardcore drugs and got out before I got stuck. I will forever wish that I hadn't lost my virginity before marriage. Regardless of the religion I belong to or any that you may belong to, teaching our children about abstinence is a moral I hope can become more valued. I may have seen and heard, said, and done many things, but when I was no longer a virgin, that's when I lost my innocence. That's when I lost my values and morals and forgot who I was, who I am. We'll get back to that.
Labels. I just posted on Facebook about how I feel about labels. Knowing I have ADD held me back, just having it never did. It became a crutch, an excuse, and it made me lose confidence in myself.
Birth Control. WHY ARE CHILDREN HAVING SEX? YOU deal with the consequences of the actions YOU choose. Why should MY hard earned money pay for you to be an idiot?
Prisons. Once again, I work for my money, my car, my rent, clothes...everything I own. I shouldn't have to pay for criminals to sit on their butts, watch porn, work out, eat more nutritional foods than are served in schools, and have their own room. Right? Florida and Arizona rock at their system.
Drug testing for recipients of any financial aid from the government. My money shouldn't go to pay for your drugs. Granted, there are many people out there who couldn't survive without government assistence, but because of the dishonest people, taxes are raised and the cost of living goes up.
I could talk forever. But basically, all I want is to raise my children in an honest, hard working, un-entitled (is that a word?) society. I hope you care enough for the generations to come enough to want the same.
