Refelction 2

What is going well for me this semester is that I am finding out that I can actually do the "going back to school" thing sticking through it and not giving up like I used to do with everything in my past. I have learned that no matter what my past was like or where I was, I can bounce back and actually do the things that I thought I couldn't do because my brain was too fried from all the drug abuse over the years. I know now that I still have a chance of living a good life that I want to live if I just buckle down and the right thing one day at a time. Or in the words of my mother "just do it already". If it wasn't for my mom I don't think that I would be in school at all, she has been my number one supporter in anything that I have tried to do ever since I started to get sober. The one thing I would like to improve on is my relationship with my father. We didn't get along too well when I was younger and I was not the best child I could have been due to the poor choices on my behalf at such a young age, but I know that he loves me no matter what I do or how many times I may mess up in life and he is proud of me and how far I have come in a little over eighteen months. He is also a big supporter for me now and I would like to work on making up for all the pain and hurtful things I did to him when I was in my addiction. What I have learned about myself mostly is that if I can come from living on the streets like a gypsy just trying to survive each and every day, to a working, sober, happy, college student in such a short time than I can do anything I set my mind to...... Including learning about schema from my reading class and getting a perfect score on my vocabulary test, cause without that and the study group we had that very few of us went to, I would have never have gotten that perfect score...
