I was halfway through my Final Internship when my advisor sat me down and told me that I wouldn't pass the internship. Supreme letdown and that's when I realized teaching wasn't something I wanted to do. So, even though I was THIS CLOSE to graduating, I switched majors. And I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from my classes so I'm thinking this was a good switch.Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-49750439934399071962009-08-28T07:03:46.778-07:002009-08-28T07:03:46.778-07:00Thanks BJ and Elizabeth!!! :) You rocketh!Thanks BJ and Elizabeth!!! :) You rocketh!Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501508565473300736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-16136852844825928442009-08-27T18:11:18.166-07:002009-08-27T18:11:18.166-07:00well put! and it is so true. thick skin & a ...well put! and it is so true. thick skin & a lot of hard work!!!!Elizabeth Byler Yountshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063220668900409811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-16527618112714910782009-08-27T16:45:56.834-07:002009-08-27T16:45:56.834-07:00Christa - This was a beautiful post.

I personally, haven't faced a whole lot of rejection yet, but that's just because I'm so afraid of it that I haven't put myself out there. As I start to package up my few short stories and poems for submission this month, I'll be taking your words to heart and keeping them in mind. I'm glad they'll still be here when I need them.Christianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586252875762284767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-9398902635223362232009-08-27T15:30:02.535-07:002009-08-27T15:30:02.535-07:00Thanks so much, Brenda, that means a lot...stay en...Thanks so much, Brenda, that means a lot...stay encouraged, my friend. :)Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501508565473300736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839097860063281306.post-82871155327483092852009-08-27T14:14:42.539-07:002009-08-27T14:14:42.539-07:00I've had lots of negative comments on my writi...I've had lots of negative comments on my writing lately. Seems like that happens every time I receive affirmation from God that this is what I am to be doing. The naysayers creep their little ugly heads into my life, making me doubt whether or not I have what it takes ... <br /><br />Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. I suppose that's not up for me to decide. I just decide whether or not to obey God's calling. And let Him take care of the details. <br /><br />Thanks for this post. I loved it! <br /><br />~Brenda~Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188450867427956487noreply@blogger.com
