DIARY OF A CHILD HEALTH STUDENT: WHO HATES CHILDREN AND IS NOT A CHILD

Day…I lost count, 

I constantly inquiry whether I should have joined Child Health or stayed in Core. I joined so I wouldn’t have to take anatomy and I could breeze through all my courses just talking about my feelings. But I reflect back and realize maybe this wasn’t the right decision. 

To be fair, my decision-making model wasn’t perfect. I spent ten years creating it and that’s not enough time! My vote was anonymous, had to be the majority wins with a 67.89% majority, and the option to veto had to be acknowledged. But that’s part of the process right and would be great evidence for my LTL. 

Though, I do fear Marmite Second may have something against me. Is it cause I told first years being a tutor is not worth it?! When it came time to select our practicum, Marmite didn’t even let me choose! She forced me to work at a Juvenile Detention Centre better known as Degroote School of Business. 

The kids there are mean and can’t even colour in the lines! One day, they were acting up so I tried using my Praxis Thread Two skills and asked how could they foster a sense of community if they swore at each other. They laughed in my face and then beat me up… 

I tried venting to my inquiry class about my experience but they straight up told me my experience wasn’t productive and lacked efficiency. What does that even mean?! They then went back to their conversation on whether babies should be exposed to Coco Melon. 

I’m feeling….I’m feeling childish for picking Child Health
