Today was my last day with my Medical Assistant students and was a sad day for me. I cried when they left because my students are off flying on their own now. I was glad to see them complete the class and their success with learning everything we taught about being a medical assistant and drawing blood. Even though I was glad, it is still sad because I do build a relationship with my students. I have taught and mentored them through the whole semester. On to new students next semester.
I am really glad that this class is almost done. I hated having to take the course, but it flew by really fast. woohoo. Nothing against the teacher, I just can't stand writing because of all the do's and do not's. Always having to write how somebody else thinks we should write, never being able to really express ourselves as we are. We have to fit into a certain mold the academic world thinks is appropriate, all they while taking away who we really are. We should be able to expand who we are the way we are, and be accepted for it, and our skills molded. I think the writing world has too many rules, guidelines, having to learn language discourse. Perfect example is my 10 year old daughter is an artist, but yet, she has to learn math, and science which is not who she is. She is very bored with these classes and does not learn well because she is simply not interested. Yet, the academic world says this is what our students have to learn and she will not choose an occupation where it is a necessity. I think we should mentor and teach our students in the areas they are strong in. Not everybody is going to be a scientist, or writer. Forcing our children into areas they do not excell only causes stress and feelings of rejection. I do not know many people who like the feelings of rejection or failure.
