Me: I might take Educational Psychology this year, mum.

Her: Why? It's boring, don't take it. I've taken it, it's horrible.

Me: Well, it sounded okay. And I might need it. I'm thinking of minoring in education.

Her: *looks at me somberly* Don't go into education, Alexandria.


LOLOLOL. That from a teacher.

I can seriouslyseriously see myself doing it, though.

But idk if that's because I'd actually like it (I'm pretty sure I would, because I like kids, but it would always not be my first choice thing, I think) or because I'm afraid of going for medicine and failing and just want to take the easy way instead of risking that. Prolly a combination.

Every single teacher I've met has told me the same thing- don't go into education. It's disheartening.

I'm doing educational psychology this semester, also.

LOL.

I've been told I'd make a good teacher, because kids seem to flock to me and I have patience for them (siblings, as always, are an exception), and enjoy being around them, but idk. And I don't think I could ever be a high school teacher.
