I may be changing my placement location and possibility of the change feels good. I don't like the city and this might be a chance to avoid it. It's good, but I still have to move and figure out what I'm doing. There's been much discussion lately about how the system works. Its created a lot of division. This program is very strange, it weeds out women who probably have a lot of great life experience, but lower grade averages or an unwillingness to face leaving their children. Out of the three schools, mine is the only school that does the grade thing. As a result, the Moms are outnumbered in our class almost 6 to 1 (not to say that Moms don't get good grades, but I know that school is second on my priority list and I suspect that holds true for the others as well).
But on to happier topics. It seems I'm getting somewhere in my life after a long period of floundering. You know how I know? The women who are my friends. I have GREAT friends. Fantastic, brilliant, strong women who by their very friendship with me, tell me that I'm on the right track (although I have a long way to go). I am in awe of them and I keep meeting more. I've "met" some amazing women through the blogs I read too. It's those women and women like them who deserve a good midwife if they need one. I want to be that midwife.

I'm so glad that things sorted themselves out for you, or at least appear to be heading that way. . . .
You will be that midwife, that I can see already.
I just want you to be happy no matter where you are placed. I hope that you love being a midwife and that if you have to move you can look back on it and say it was worth it. From what you've said so far, that is a sure bet. :)
