Looking back

                This semester has made me realize I really need to work on my procrastination. It is now hindering the work I turn in. I have learned that English does not have to be a class I dread anymore. I have come to the realization that I have no reason to fear my writing. Between this class and my other classes that required discussions, in general people like what I have to say. Are there areas for improvement? Without a doubt, I have learned I was not as proficient in areas as I thought I was; there are areas in which I excel in that I didn't recognize before. I need to stop thinking and just write! I can always go back and tweak things to make it outstanding in the end.

              This semester I have learned that I have way too much unnecessary stuff on my plate. That not being available to do everything is ok. Focusing my time on the most important things and making them the best they can be is far better than trying to be there for everything but only able to give a little each time. Spending time with my children is more important than doing things for them. I have always had a lot to say in life, knowing when to say it is what I have worked on this semester.
           
              One lesson that has smacked me in my face a time or two this semester is that my children watch everything I do! I have always tried to parent by example and follow up with telling them. I noticed lately that I was lacking in that rule and it was showing loud and clear in their faces. We are back on track and ready to be the parents our children deserve. I can't wait for the future!

             The most important lesson I have taken in this semester is discovering that my husband is truly my best friend. That he has and always will do anything for me and our family. He has been the one to comfort me, pick up my slack, show up when I need him, and listen to me. I am sorry it has taken me so long to recognize that. I couldn’t have dreamed for a better partner to conquer the journey of life with.
