I've recently been having some problems with a group project for one of my psychology classes.
I did the first big portion of the project on my lonesome basically and it ended up in a teary phone call to mother (aren't moms great?). I was so stressed. I refuse to get anything less than an A in this class. An A in any class is possible with the right amount of effort and focus!
Well, anyway. . .
I wrote my professor an email stating my distraught and frustration at my group members.
He was so helpful, understanding, and nice about the whole thing. He offered me advice and reassured me that my efforts will not go unnoticed. I thought it was really beneficial.
I was a bit hesitant to approach him with this problem but I'm glad I did.
I'm so glad the professors here are so intelligent and just are really good people. It makes me feel optimistic about our secondary educational system. Public schools still make me nervous. I went to a public school. I had a wonderful experience and also plenty of not so wonderful experiences. I was blessed with a school full of decent teachers in high school but I remember elementary school. . . .One teacher just had it out for me and I still remember vividly when my 1st grade teacher told me that I was a liar for taking credit for a drawing I had drawn for class. . . . ouch--huh?
Children are so precious. The public educational system needs good people and I demand reform.
With my parents both in the educational system, I have heard of how it is almost a political game and it makes me so very angry and sad. I could go on but I won't because than I'll get all riled up and. . . well. . . today is a beautiful day and I want to remain content with the world.
So thank goodness for excellent professors and teachers--they need to know they're appreciated.
