Last week was very productive. There where a few things that I could have done better, but for the most part it was a great week. I once heard that you should not judge your day by what you reap, but by how many seeds you sew. So I have reached out to a student who is not a part of the special education department. We met and talked at lunch time. He informed me that he is passing two of his classes and failing two. We decided he would go on Monday and talk to the two teachers of the classes he is failing, and ask what he needs to do to improve in those classes. He also told me that he had just been diagnosed with ADD, and has started medication just a few days ago. After that he told me what he wanted to do when he was finished secondary school and about his interests. I think he enjoyed talking. Today he saw me in the halls and came up to me to tell me that he had talked to one of his teachers but the other one was not here today. This past weekend I went out again with a friend of mine from Mohawk College and her boyfriend. It was another great night. Lucky for me I made a new friend. Someone came to the bar after a very unsuccessful blind date. Well it sounded unsuccessful from what she was saying. She had the most beautiful brown eyes. Every time I looked her in the eyes you could see a kind of sparkle. She was great to talk to and a lot of fun to be around. And for the record I beat her in pool. This pass week I also got an email from my instructor at Mohawk letting me know that I earned one hundred percent on my final exam. It has also been a very busy week on my web page. I have added a lot to it, including two online stores. One for a company I have called White Trash Enterprises and the other for products for Educational Assistants. No my week was not just all roses; my job is causing me a lot of stress. Due to my medical problems related to my weight. Mainly my heart condition and my sleep apnea, I have been missing some work. So it is time to go through the “Wellness Program”. I am currently in stage two. There for after my meeting I will be in the next stage that is basically if I have one sick day in the next three months, I move to stage four. In this stage after my next sick day I can be dismissed. Needless to say it has been causing me a lot of stress, which is not the best for my heart. It caused me to miss the Council for Exceptional Children Christmas party. Even today my heart has been racing and my chest area just doesn’t feel right. But what can I do if I don’t come to work I can get fired. Ending the only thing in my life I have that I really care about, helping children. Or I can just keep coming to work no matter how I feel, and all that can happen is I have to work through the pain or worse case I have a heart attack. I guess it is time to choose life with no passion and reason for living, or a life filled with passion and a reason for living. That comes with some pain and maybe a better chance of death. It may not make sense to you but I choose the life with passion and a reason to go one.
As I have heard some where before, "you can either get busy living, or get busy dying."
