School

Remind me to never complain about the days of High School again. After 18 years of being school free, I had this crazy notion to go back to school, and now that I am in college I wish it was High School again. Of course you don't have the cliques, the social pressures and the torment, but you have Professor's, and that might be worse. I wasn't a top student, (no such thing as GPA in the British school system), but I wasn't a bad student either, and I can truly say that I was fond of all my teachers. I have fond memories of all them; though of course they too had their moments of madness, but it's true that they impact your life in some shape or form. We all can remember that one teacher whom we put up on a pedistal, and gave the title of 'World's Best Teacher' because they took the time and listened to you, and as a teenager, most times you felt as though no-one else was. Can you truly say the same thing about your college professors? We have college professor that we remember, some with fondness, some not so fondly! But, it seems that when asked about your favorite teacher, our minds go back to Elementary or High School. I'll remember my Anatomy professor, but not because of his greatness and guidance, but of being absolutely afraid to even breath in his class. I think the men are just as afraid of him too! I'm sure that when I'm all done with the college experience, it will become stories I can tell my kids when they are ready to head out into the college world (even scarier than the professor) and will be a connection that they will have with both me and their Dad. I'm proud of the fact that I had the courage to go back to school, whether I graduate or not. It's all about following your dreams, and that's something your never to old to do!
