I finished my last class tonight....took one last exam...no more research papers...done. I got my grade too.... All for the Lord, ladies. All the work (I don't think I mentioned all the work I put into this last class. Can I mention 30 pages of notes for one test? Typed?)...............I did it for the Lord. He has asked me to be a teacher for His children....and I said "yes". He may ask me one day to do other things for Him but for now I will teach His children. I am in complete awe and so thankful. I told the two ladies I carpooled with that if I got an A in this class (I wasn't so sure, the prof put them in the computer after class...after she graded the exams), I was going to go to Adoration to thank our Lord. I just got back from Adoration...it's after midnight. God is good!
I can't believe studen.t teaching is only 2 weeks away!
On a lighter funnier note....I just mentioned that I carpooled with two women to class. Well, one lady is TTC'ing. SHe just started. We were talking about this...I'm okay with it. The lady TTc'ing knows I'm IF. No biggie. So...the other lady states boldly (she has two small children)..."Now that you got rid of the stress from this class...you'll get pregnant. Everyone who gets rid of stress gets pregnant." I had to answer that one. I said "That's not true." I must have said it very firmly and matter of factly for that woman had no response. End of discussion. We rode home in silence. Did I just stop a fertile in her tracks? Woo hoo....score. I was the driver tonight...I drove home with a smile on my face.
It's late....I'm beat...but so thankful to the Lord, my dh, my family and my friends...without their support...I wouldn't be becoming a teacher. I wouldn't have done so well in grad school. It's not what the Lord can do for me...but what I can do for the Lord.
Many blessings to you all and thank you for your prayers too. I do appreciate them.
***Oh...one more thing to mention about grad school*** I finished my classes with a 4.0 gpa.**I worked really hard for this and I'm so thrilled. I guess when one does the Lord's work and follows His lead...good things will happen! My dh posted about my gpa on f.b. He's so proud. :)
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of the moment!!!
Also- yea for student teaching!!! Do you know your grade and school yet? I was scheduled to s.t. 5th grade- and 2 weeks before school started my teacher switched to FIRST! Which was totally uncool- but I went with her. And turned out that I LOVE FIRST GRADE. I never would have known otherwise!! I hope you have a great experience!
Congratulations on being done with your classes. I'm looking forward to hearing about your student teaching experience. I hope it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGood for you about not letting that woman spread misconceptions about IF/getting pregnant. That's awesome that she didn't even have a response.
Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and 4.0 is so well deserved :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! You must feel so relieved that it's all over!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I could give you a big high five for getting that fertile to be quiet. Relax my a$$! If that was the case I would've been pg after we got married five years ago!
Too bad that you don't live closer to me I would love you to be my student teacher!!!!
CONGRATS! You didn't just finish, you demolished the finish line with that GPA! Loved your comment in the car - and that you were able to stand the silence.
ReplyDeleteThanks Everyone!!! I didn't think I could pull of the gpa but I'm just beaming that I was able to do it! It's one thing I accomplished for my own self...because in reality..no one sees the gpa and one cares. Prinicals just want to see the certification.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!! And nice job correcting a misapprehension before some other poor IFer with a thinner skin has to hear this woman say it to her.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! What an accomplishment!
