So I have one more week left until the end of my first semester in graduate school. WOW - my last final is this week Friday, December 14th. As I look back on the semester I think about all that has happened. All the new friends I have made. All the good and the bad times we have shared. It is funny to me now how scared I was when the semester started. I am shocked and amazed at how much I have learned.

I learned how to complete and submit on time my process recording for my field placement.

I learned the proper techniques to use to interview a client.

I learned how to search for and buy cheap used textbooks.

I learned how to properly cite journal articles in APA format.

I learned how to read 6 chapters in my textbook in 3 hours for an exam.

I learned how to drive down 270 (in and out of traffic) and make it to class on time.

I learned how to take the back roads to school instead of 270.

I learned how to stretch $20.00 so it last for at least a week and half.

I learned how to smile even when I was too tired and there wasn’t much to smile about.

I learned how to have a little bit more patients.

Most especially…I learned how to do my best and leave the rest to GOD.

As I write this blog I am preparing for a quiz in Human behavior and a five page paper in Social Work practice which is due on Wednesday. Then I have my Policy and Research exam on Friday and my final paper in Research is also due. One week left. WOW – time is funny it passes so quickly. Happy Holidays to all and Good Luck on finals!! I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog for this semester and have learned a little bit from me.
