I am so busy right now, but I had to post this, sorry it got kinda long.
Today I took my philosphy paper to the writing department at school for help. Well after a long wait, this one lady tried to help me, but I could tell she was uncomfortable with the content of the paper, but she helped me some with the grammer. Well then she passed me on to this guy to help with the content.
I told this guy that I am just not happy with my paper and I want to get an A, but I just don't think it is an A paper. Well he laughed and said that normally students that come into the writing center on their own, are usually wanted help with making a D paper at least a C. But he then told me the difference between an A paper and a B paper. Then he started to read my paper.
This guy started to say, wow, this is really good, etc. I was very surprised. He told me that I seem to be an advanced writer and asked me if I do creative writing. I said yes, some poetry, but I wouldn't call it a hobby. Well he said I had a talent for getting my feelings accross in my writing, something that really can't be taught in school.
I then asked him if he was an English comp prof or something, and he said, no, he tries to stay away from that department. Well he seemed to know what he was talking about, and he finally told me his name, and told me to google it sometime. Well I did, and this guy is a very published poet and creative writer! I was shocked that someone like that would like my writings and encourage me to do more of it. What a compliment! ;-)Well he told me a little about his life, and he has had a hard go of it too, like me. Well it got me thinking. I believe that since I had a lack of parenting, I didn't fall into conformism of my parents thinking and beliefs. I have had to learn to think for myself. Most of my childhood I was silenced, in my mariage I have been silenced to be a nice wifey poo.
Well I believe I have been too damn quiet my whole life. I am now talking about what I believe, and I am getting excellent feedback from teachers, my T ,and others in my everyday life. I don't know where this will take me, but I feel so empowered lately and inspired. I love to be creative in writing, painting, and music, I think I am finding my nitch.;-)
Anyways I plan on talking to my T about this and see what he says.
