SCHOOL

I am finally back at school, after a 5 year break. I wonder if I am still as sharp as I used to be back then. Classes started this week for us, with orientation and everything, I felt like such a first year. The registration process has changed so much, it is now self service and well me and technology have never been friends hey but I got through it.

Fretting over having to attend classes seeing that class attendance for my course is compulsory. I have always preferred to study by myself at home, being in class just rubs me up the wrong way. But I don't have a choice now, I have to make peace with it. Monday, we didn't get off to such a great start. First my timetable was wrong and then I couldn't find the venue for my other class. Its hard to believe that just a few years ago, I knew the corners of the campus like I know myself. Now I am your typical first year, getting lost and looking confused.

Tuesday went a whole lot better. Had my first class and the lecturer said something that reminded me of why I love this field so much. Human behaviour is such an interesting thing, you can never really and truly know so studying human beings means that we never get bored. Dr Boning said, "Human beings are truly complex beings and if you want to become a social worker you need to look beneath the surface to understand what is really going on. Often times people's actions are only a symptom of what is going on beneath the surface and you should not judged people solely on based on their actions but to try and find the root behind their specific action."

It was at that exact moment when she said that, that I knew I had made the right decision and that I was at the right place. Studying what I love and paving the way to finally doing what I love and what I am most passionate about.

This is the start of a new chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch this space for the crowning glory.
