My Learning Curve

 My learning curve. Well, it is not a hard right, or a hard left, it is a gradual curve that seems to drag on forever.  I went to a really hard high school so I could get into a good college. In reality, I went to a a really hard high school so everyone else could get all of the great grades and blow the curve. As a result, I ended up attending the very same university I would have attended regardless. But I think about how those years at a Catholic Prep school and how it changed me as a person, modeled me actually. I became instrested in the Catholic faith, found values that I understood and was able to chose for myself.  A foundation I was proud of. As I sit here, typing (something I rarely do), reflecting on my curves in life, I realize that the 'prep' school just didn't make me look like a mediore students, it formed my path for my future.  I think I got more out of my high school than I did college. Now, don't get me wrong, college was a BLAST and I would not change a thing about it. But looking back, I wonder if I would have choosen different paths in my personal life if I had not attended that very ritzy, expensive high school.  I could very well be living with an abusive husband that made lots of money, or I could be living off the land with a hippie that I once was fond of. But instead, my path is paved by faith. I met my husband on Easter Sunday at church. We live in a modest house with two beautiful children. I am still learning, everyday, how to be a good person, wife, mother and friend. I expect these learning curves will only get bigger and broader as my children grow. But one thing I am certain of, there willl not be a curve in my faith.


Funny how I choose to write on the subject of learning.  In the process of attempting upload my virgin blog.  I have managed to feel totally dumb and old, all at the same time. For example, I tried using my favorite feature of any word program, SPELL CHECK! Those who know me personally, know I can't spell to save my soul.  Yes, I taught English and Grammar, but I still have issues with spelling. Anyway, never could get that to work. :( See that snazzy picture up at the top?  Yep, that only took me a half hour to figure out.  Not because I couldn't find the upload button but because I searched through my pictures and fonnd 'the one'. I uploaded it and then struggled to try to find out how to rotate it. Yep, so back the pictures I went, to find an up right one. So here it is my first blog, without spell check and all! :)
