I've finally stopped thinking of Stillwater as a big town, but I'm still afraid of getting lost whenever I go to OKC.<BR/><BR/>I never was too worried about grades. By the time I got old enough for it to matter, I had decided that school was not to be taken seriously. Later on at the university I started taking the learning seriously—good grades were a happy side effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988655.post-1116847865110834812005-05-23T06:31:00.000-05:002005-05-23T06:31:00.000-05:00Amazing the power that certain experinences or wor...Amazing the power that certain experinences or words have had over our lives isn't it? Glad you have been able to put this to rest now. Amazing your therapist has common experiences...how much help it is to share with those who understand!<BR/><BR/>Each of my kids has taken their grades far more seriously than I did in school. Plus seem to have more brains to do so. I wonder though how much all the beatings I got during those first 9 years in school might have had with how well, or not, I did. School was somewhat of a refuge for me...but also a torment...other kids can be so mean, you know. It is interesting how God works things out...2 things I was so teased about in grade school are characteristics my husband loves about me...my red hair and freckles. Well, my used to be red hair...not much left of it now! HA!<BR/>Thanks for sharing with your readers.<BR/>ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988655.post-1116813509846795952005-05-22T20:58:00.000-05:002005-05-22T20:58:00.000-05:00I'm glad that you have, regardless of timing.That ...I'm glad that you have, regardless of timing.<BR/><BR/>That is one thing I tell the kids I know wha struggle in school: Just get though it. Not once since I left school... in a job interview or whatever, has anyone asked me what grades I got. The fact that I made it through was what counts.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979627849688965995noreply@blogger.com
