week 1 Giving an A

The chapter giving an A reminded me so much about forgiving. It also frees from measuring and comparing relationships. I had to re-evaluate some of my relationships and give an A first before I made any other moves. With some giving an A did not (in the immediate) change anything. However, it will but now I am not hooked into a time or place, which takes so much stress off communication , relationships, teaching and learning. I remember my shorthand and executive office teacher having so much angst for the students who didn't get 80 words per minute before graduation. I hated typing and anything "administrative". She would be glad to know that I did "eventually" get to 75 words per minute and now occasionally assist business owners with "administrative". I didn't get an A in high school but the knowledge that I had gained place me high enough on some tests that I was able to go into the military as a telecom operator with a Top Secret clearance. Did I love typing no I wanted to be an entertainer but I dreaded every day going to that class 2 hours a day 5 times a week and you don't change your major in 2nd semester of your Junior year (so I am told). I may have enjoyed the "time" I spent with Mrs. WIllard more under this new idea I have learned. I like the idea that we are able to change our future histories by inventing them. This fact is freeing and allows for greater levels of creativity and connectedness with others.
