The most embarrassing moment of my life...
Today was going to be hard, but I had no idea it was going to be the kind of day I would remember for the rest of my life! People can usually tell you there most embarrassing moment(s), until today I never had that memory. So what happened?...
I had my first test today, in my most important class of my college career, Non-Profit Accounting. Along with the test I had a portion of the semester's big project and a take home quiz problem due. I worked for 5 days, which honestly wasn't enough, and didn't finish either of the homeworks. So I went to class and took my test...well half of my test because I didn't make time to really study during the homework trouble. So I handed in my test and was asked to hang around for a minute by my teacher. I will take this opportunity to say that this particular teacher is amazing, and I have never had a better experience with a member of the school faculty before her.
So I waited until the last few students had made their way out so the real conversation could take place. My Professor took the time to encourage me, and help me figure out a plan to make better progress in my education and career. The first embarrassing part was that from the first word out of her mouth...I started crying. I could not stop, not for a second....I just stood there and cried like a baby while she talked. She handled it so well, but I felt so bad.
The worst part came after our talk though...I walked out of class into a hallway crowded with students who i know (for the most part). It was like the naked dream. My face shows every twinge of emotion...let alone 10 minutes of crying, swelling, and red face. I probably had to look like that to at least 45 students...who by the way were waiting to get into the classroom. I walked steady but as quickly as I could to the bathroom, and waited there until I was sure most people would be in class. I know it must have happened fast, but to me it felt like slow motion! My issues made another class start late. I can't believe today even happened. I have never felt so humiliated in my life!
I am grateful though, because having a teacher who cares and takes time out for you is priceless!

Oh Melly! I wish I could give you a hug! *hug*
ReplyDeleteI just still remember when you came to campus when I had my melt down and somehow willed me to go on. Every time I think of you in school I say that prayer for strength, for hope and for the will to go on. School changes who you are and sometimes swallows you up. YOU are an amazing wonderful person and YOU will succeed. For if God is for you who can be against you? God always reminds me that this includes me. God is for me not even I can stand in the way of his plan for me if I am seeking his plan.
Love you.
Thank you Amy...that helps <3
