Encouragement

This week has been quite the week! It is only Wednesday and I am already worn plum out! I still have 1 test and 2 quizzes to take tomorrow and then a big Anatomy test on Friday! Geez!

I have felt a little down and discouraged this week because I just feel like I am not doing enough, but then I feel like I am doing too much! It is so hard to explain what I mean. I feel that I HAVE to study a lot because I want to give this program everything that I have but on the other hand, if I study more than I need to be studying then I worry that I am not being a good steward of my time. Then there are those times that I feel like a complete idiot because I have to spend so much time studying.

Today I met with one of my professors and I am SO happy that I met with her today!  What an encourager she is! She is so encouraging with our entire class, but to meet with her on a one on one basis and get to know her and let her get to know me was just great. After I left my meeting with her I felt so refreshed and so renewed… she reminds me of why I want to do this… she confirmed to me that I am doing the right thing by studying and spending a lot of my time on this stuff. I can’t explain how perfect it was that I met with her today. My heart left her office happy and relieved. I know that there will probably be days that I may feel a little let down or deflated because of correction, but I know that there are people who want me to succeed and who will do everything they can to create an environment for my success. I have hope that I will one day be in a career that I love and that others can be encouraged by!

I wanted to blog this to document it for me to look back on when the days are seeming bleak!

My goal is to be in good spirits so that I can be an encouragement to those around me. I DO NOT need negativity in my life and I will not accept it! :D
