well it was that time of year were every one goes of to there prison were there supposedly learning. For me even though i was done high school i also went of to school this time to my prison of choices Sault saint Marie for the collaborative nursing program.
I have to admit that when i really didn't want to go away. The way i ended up going to my prison away from TBay. My parents pushed me to it. I have to say thou when i think back to it i am so glad that they made me to go. I learned so much about my self in thous six mouths away.More then i ever would if i had stad at home.
Things i learned about my self where things like how i was when i was out of my comfort zone.To be perfectly honest people who know me think i'm really out going. Yes i'm loud and i like to be with people but iv been tested and i'm more of an introvert, Testing dose not lie. So what i'm getting at is that yes i might seem like a person who maybe good at making new friends and being in a new places. Nope that's not me at all. I was scared out of my mind when I went away. For about the first two weeks of school i had no friend. I would sit in class and stare around pretending in my head that i had friends. People probably thought i was crazy. I would eat in the library and go back to my room off campus to study after classes. I was a loner.
Funny thing is this could have gone one for the rest of they year if Celeste and Hannah hadn't come by Jeans house that Friday afternoon. Funny thing was earlier that morning i had been watching them.I know that sounds creepy. The looked so happy and i wanted to be friends with the. I just didn't know how to go about getting there attention. I couldn't mutter up the courage. So i went home after class with out talking to them. I was in the Kitchen with Jean making brownies for another class. Someone knocked on the door. I had been talking to Jean about how i had no friends. Jean opened the door and there was Celeste and Hannah. they came in it was strange but the smiled and talked to me even thou i just stared at them most of the time. They left after a bit. The next day they asked me to sit with them and as they say the next is history. They where my first two friends. I'm so glad i met them. My third and last friend i met a week later in one of my lab classes, Chantell.
Another thing that i learned about my self was that my faith in God was stronger then i thought.I was worried that i would get influenced and loses faith or not be as strong or holed my ground if i was asked to do something wrong. My faith is strong and as strong as it will very be. I was able to hold my ground and let people know what i believe with out hiding anything. Also i know what i believe is right and i love that God worked in my life by sending me away so that i could learn that about my self.
I know also know that i can live with out my parents house and i'm not some one who needs to be around people. I can study and get my work done with out my parents breathing down my neck and reminding me to do things. I'm more organized then i thought. Last but not least i learned that yes i want to be a nurse and i love learning about medical things.
Going to University was in the end not like going to prison. It was a like a kind of freedom. I freedom to grow and find my self. I know who i am and i will never forget the fact that i can do anything because i have a great friend on my side. That friend is Jesus. He helped m,e though my first year.
University changed me for the beter and i love that about it.
Any way that's all for now. I hope you like my thoughts on university.
Over and out.
