The Real World

Well, I really do not know how to start this. I recently had to sign my degree checkout paper. It was not until I got back home that I realized that I am almost done with college. I just cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. I am really nervous about getting a real job. I feel the same way that I felt the very first time I was looking for a job. I started working when I was 13 years old and I have been working ever since then. However, when I got pregnant my husband made me quit because I was working full time, going to school full time, and being pregnant was not helping the situation. So, in December of last year, I decided to quit my job. Now I am dedicated to my son, family, and school. Although I love spending time with my son and family, I am starting to feel the need to re-enter the work life. However, I am scared because I do not have the type of experience that big accounting companies are looking for. Once I am able to find a job, I know that it will be easier for me to find a better job, if needed, because I will have some "real" accounting experience. It is hard to get that first job though. Just like the very first time you are looking for a job; No one wants to hire you because you have absolutely no experience. However, once you get that first job, finding a second one becomes much easier. I just hope that at least one accounting firm out there gives me the opportunity that I am looking for. Then, once I get the opportunity, I hope that they are willing the show me the "ways" in the real world. I know I might sound a little confusing, I feel very confused. All I know is that I will be graduating pretty soon and I really want to have an opportunity to fulfill the professional aspect of my life.

Wisdom Teeth

I had to go to the oral surgeon this past Friday. I had been having problems with my wisdom teeth for a long time. I finally got enough courage to go see the dentist about it. The dentist referred me to an oral surgeon, and after a few examinations he determined that the best thing would be for me to have my wisdom teeth extracted. So, I set up the appointment. I was really scared at first. My dad had to take the day of off work to drop me off and take me to the house. When we got to the office, I did not have to wait long at all. My dad and I went into the room where I was going to have the procedure. The doctor started setting me up and set up the I.V on my arm. All of the sudden, he told me that he was giving me the medicine. I started feeling really weird and the last thing I remember was lifting up my head and telling my dad "It's shutting down dad... it's shutting down." Needless to say, it took only about three seconds for me to be out. As soon as I was under the effect of the anesthesia, the doctor asked my dad to leave the room. The procedure only lasted about 35 minutes, when I woke up I felt a little disoriented. I went home and when I woke up a few hours later, I could not find my glasses anywhere. I had to call the doctor on his cell phone because the office was already closed. He told me that he remembered putting my glasses on me before I left. Finally, I was able to find my glasses. Anyway, getting my wisdom teeth pulled out was not as bad as I thought; giving birth is definitely worst.

Altering Sexual Orientation

I would like to start by saying that I do not have anything against homosexual people. If that is the sexual orientation they decide to adopt, then that is their problem, not mine. I do not really understand what goes on in a person's mind to feel attracted towards the same sex. According to some documentaries that I have watched on television, homosexual people say that what they feel is almost like an instinct. Something they cannot help themselves from doing. Just like heterosexuals are instinctively attracted to the opposite sex, homosexuals are "instinctively" attracted to their same sex. Although I do not agree with it, I respect their point of view. However, I do not agree with scientists trying to find a way to alter someone's sexual orientation.

After reading an article on slate magazine, I did not know what to think anymore. The article explains how scientists altered some genes in the brain of female worms, ultimately making them feel attracted to other female worms. It seemed to me, after reading the article, that they also have tried it on flies and mice. They believe that sexual orientation is "hard-wired" and can be changed scientifically. I think this is absurd, after all we are talking about living beings. We are not talking about some kind of electrical circuit on which one can just change cables to get different outcomes.

From what I understood from the article, they are hoping that they will achieve the same kind of result on human beings. What kind of society would we live in if scientist could wire us to be homosexuals? Obviously, these people have no concept of what God intended for us to do. We are here to procreate, not to have a homosexual population. What good would it do for them to be able to "wire" us that way? Apparently, they have no idea of the consequences that this may incur on our society.

Like I said previously, I do not have a problem with homosexual people. However, I do not think that God intended for the world to be like that. Otherwise, He would have created two Adams or two Eves; don't you think? Science has definitely gone too far in my opinion. What are scientist going to do next? Are they going to try to figure out a way to allow men to conceive a child?
