Back to School


The clip shows exactly what I’ve felt like coming back to school after the stroke. Everybody is so smart eager and energetic, and then there's me. I do my best work and I end up turning in a crumpled sheet of notebook paper with gum stuck to it.

This is going to be a challenging semester. Every once in a while I catch myself wondering, “was I foolish to come back so soon?”

Don’t get me wrong my progress has been miraculous. I couldn’t be happier with all the things I’m able to do. It’s just that coming back to school has made me realize that there are lots of improvements yet to be made. Everything is a little bit trickier and I have to work harder than I have before. What’s nice though is that the extra work I put into my assignments and studying is that much more rewarding. I don’t think I've ever been more proud of my gummy wrinkled notebook paper. :)

I guess whether I’ve been foolish or not I’m here now so I plan on putting forth my best effort and with the Lords help I’ll have no reason to be anything but proud of what I accomplish…. So long as it’s an A ;)… Just kidding
