Negativity
Why is society so happy to be negative? How many times have you watched the news and they spoke of nothing but positive things? That many huh!?!
I decided that instead of furthing my education in Criminal Justice that I would take the EMT course instead. It is nothing but 250 hours, and I can do the written work and exams online. I told my husband and he says, "I don't know, the state and national exams are very hard." Really, like I thought it was gonna be easy. I mean we are talking about tending to injured or sick people. It should be difficult.
I am just frustrates now, because of a simple comment. I know he more than likely didn't mean it like I took it, but I just had this conversation about my mother and sisters not saying anything positive about anything. How come he couldn't have added, but I know you can do it?
It doesn't take a lot to get me frustrated and then just say forget it when I want to do something. He very well knows this. I was born into a family of quiters.
At this point I just want to give up on everything!

I just read your journal entry, now I understand why you\'re frustrated today. How long have you been studing Criminal Justice? To me if you can study that field you can handle being a EMT, are you sure you want to change your field because you\'re having a rough time today?
Just read your journal entry, I can understand your frustration, I get the same reaction from my family but not my husband he\'s great and I should listen to him more lol. If you feel that you can make the change from Criminal Justice to EMT good luck and best wishes to you.
I think your hubby probably didn\'t mean to imply that you couldn\'t do it. However, I definitely understand your interpretation given that you come from what sounds like a very negative family. You know yourself the best, and if you feel like you can handle the EMT course, then you should take it. Whatever you do, don\'t let anyone\'s negativity cause you to give up on your dreams.
