So yeah.
I am a single mom of 2 kids, still go to university and trying to struggle between being a mom, a student, a friend to people and doing what I like as a hobby to keep me from getting all depressed and too serious.
Yesterday was one of those days in school where I am like: What do I do with this??
My teacher came to me because I missed an assignment and last semester I missed out on 3 classes. She wanted to speak to me about this, and rained down on me that I planned wrong, I was slacking and I needed to get myself together. She had people in her class who had a job, I don't and if I wanted to game every evening instead of learning I should not be in uni.
Needless to say I was shocked.
I don't game every evening... I work hard to make ends meet on welfare and my study is my way to get ahead. I missed classes because I could not afford the ticket of a total of 3 bus trips to get to the school, and back. I missed the assignment due to sickness of my youngest... throat infection be the real deal as a parent.
She stated she didn't want to know all the details of stuff that went wrong in my life, just to get it together and push to get things done.
When she left I was sitting there stunned. I still have no clue what to do with what she said. I work an average of 1,5 hours a day to 2 hours a day every day on my study. This with my 3 year old running around me demanding my attention. I struggle just around minimum wage, this to get my kids clothes, stuff for school for the oldest, and my books and trips back and forth. The teacher claimed I was looking for excuse to hide behind so I don't have to take responsibility. And on top of it, I was not setting much as an example for my kids. The last part pissed me off no end.
This coming from a teacher... me being in her class to learn how to be a teacher for kids who struggle with social skills, learning disability and social disadvantage...
Not sure still how to react to it all. I do know I am gonna continue and show her, that even if I slack sometimes due to personal issues, I won't tell her, but show her I can do this, and just give her the biggest middle finger that way... yet I am still sad and angry by what she told me
