Last Tuesday I went to see my counselor at Vocational Rehab (or VR) to see what the next step would be to get me back to college.

The first thing we looked at was the results of my career aptitude test. And, to no suprise, my math and spelling scores were above average and also to no suprise my english scores were a bit below average (too many rules and exceptions to memorize!). The next thing we looked at was my interests, and the things that I might enjoy doing.

What I found interesting, was that in my results from my aptitude test, among my top interests (just after teaching), was farming. I come from a long line of farmers on both sides, but particularly my great grandfather on my dad's side, Leyan Nelson, whose birthday I share. I have always felt so close to him even though I have never met him, and this just summed up how much we have in common.

After we discovered this little tid-bit of information, my counselors supervisor came in, and I was so nervous around him I would look to dad for answers.

They told me I would have to meet with a therapist (for my social anxiety, and to learn how to cope with certain situations). Also need to see my doctor so we can get my ADD under control (if you personally know me, you can totally tell because i will be totally focused and then I will hear a sound and my focus is gone.)

So, before I can start school they want me to be "stable" so I can focus and have a somewhat normal college experience. Makes sense, wouldn't want to be unstable in an already unstable place! :)
