I see nothing wrong with that

** I may spell words wrong, use spell check religiously, and talk my thoughts out...but I see nothing wrong with that!

** I may have to fabric soften all my clothes to make them "soft," read up side down, and have my letters move around the page...but I see nothing wrong with that.

** I may only eat certain foods due to texture/taste, smell my fingers to calm down, or be unable to walk on the balance beam...but I see nothing wrong with that.

** I may loose track of time, have to study 3x as hard as the other college student, or sleep much less...but I see nothing wrong with that.

** I may become frustrated and vent, rant, or gripe, but I see nothing wrong with that.

** I may have Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Sensory Processing Disorder, Food Allergies, and other issues...but I see nothing wrong with that.

** I may have issues, but I see nothing wrong with that. Everyone has issues!

You may be wondering my point to this whole post and it is simple! I see nothing wrong the way HE made me. Sure I may struggle a little to learn or to understand concepts, but I see nothing wrong with that!

Psalm 139:13-16 states "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

I see nothing wrong with the way HE created me! HIS works are WONDERFUL and MIGHTY!

Touchy rant/subject: Adderall

Today in Educational Psychology, we were discussing ADD/ADHD. Some of us were sharing personal experiences and good/bad information about Adderall. J decided that it would be funny to say that he "uses" Adderall occasionally to stay awake.

Oh my goodness, what is he thinking telling our professor/the whole class that? He does not take it for ADD, he just takes it to "stay awake;" he said that he does not have the disorder. The problem with this is that people who do NOT have ADD or ADHD can get high (like with drugs) instead of have the reverse effect of it. The reverse effect slows the ADD or ADHD down and calms the specific part that is effected.

He thought that it was a huge joke and even laughed at it. This is not a laughing matter and actions do eventually have consequences. My word was I fuming when I was done with this class. I have several problems with what J said in class. One he does not have the disorder and is using the drug for its effects on those that do not have the disorder. Two he does not see anything wrong with this. Three he laughed as he told the class/professor this. Lastly, he does not have a prescription and gets it somewhere else.

So as I know many who have this disorder and are prescribed this; J hit my nerve thinking it was all one big joke. Some college boys just need to grow up.

Sorry if I ranted too long, I just needed to get it off my chest. A nicer post will come tomorrow.

Have a great evening!!!!
