what have I learned...

Wow! What a ride. So it seems the end is in sight. For me the next two days will be about tweaking and still more tweaking of my final rough draft then it will be sent off to the Writing Center. Hopefully I will receive it back in time to do some final adjustments. Then it is a matter of sit and wait to find out if I managed to scrap by in this class. Mind you that wasn't the plan it just happened and I can't change it. I can only move forward and give what I have to give at this time. Which most days didn't seem like much, it was all that I could do to just remember to breath. I have had one struggle after another since this term started and at times I thought I wasn't going to make it. Thank you all so much for your word of encouragement  and kindness. May you always be the master of your own ship!

Ugh! Will this rollercoaster ride every end

For some time now I have found myself losing sight of what is important in my life and letting life take control and not taking control of my life. Things have happened that can't be undone and I have fallen behind. Not just with my school work but with taking care of me. This process of writing has been helping me to find my way back. This paper has truly become personal as depression is consuming me and not letting go. I am hoping that all of my hard work will pay off and show that having depression isn't a death sentence just a reminder to take care of yourself. Mental health and physical health go hand in hand no matter your age. I am looking forward to getting feedback from my fellow classmates.
