With more than half of my second term behind me, it seemed like a good time for an update. My courseload consists of three classes. All are going well. I worked ahead early in the term.... thank goodness! My life has been crazy these past couple of weeks and I have not spent nearly enough time on my education. But because I was ahead of the game, I am not at all behind. I need to stay focused this week and push forward.
I am learning A LOT! The courses are quite interesting and I actually am enjoying grad school. I expected this would be the case because I am learning about things I am interested in. You know, like placentas, breastfeeding, etc. LOL I'm a birth geek and proud of it!! :)
I appreciated a comment from a co-worker this weekend. She remarked at how she thought my bedside manner really makes a difference. Her words of compliment were very encouraging! I have found my true calling. By pursuing a higher level of knowledge and skill, I will have the ability to make a HUGE difference for many more women.
On the home front, our family continues to make a difference. Our fourth child has settled in nicely. She will remain a member of our family through the next six months at the least. We enjoy having her here! I personally feel like I have grown as a parent over the past month. THAT is a very amazing feeling!
Time to sign off and feed the four legged children ;)
Until next time.....

Oh Sabrina, I know first hand that your bedside manner makes a difference! Darrell and I still both talk about how much we liked you! :)
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how your patients are going to love you as a midwife!
