I'm smart in my own way about the things I want to be smart about....
Your IQ Is 115Your Logical Intelligence is Above Average
Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius
Your Mathematical Intelligence is Exceptional
Your General Knowledge is Above Average
Now that my dear old friend made me question the reason for all my degrees (no offense taken B, just got a chuckle), I was curious to see what my IQ score would be. Above were my scores, although I couldn't get the cute little brain picture to come up.
Do I consider myself smart? No, not really in some things, sometimes I am as dingy as the day is long, but I am book smart and love learning and absorb things well and am a good test taker. I certainly never planned on going to college this long, never really had a desire to get more than one degree. Although I often think that if I was going to spend this much time in college, I should have just went to medical school and have a pay check to show for it. But I am doing all of this to provide better for my family. My husband is in law enforcement and we know that teachers and cops are the world's lowest paid occupations for the job they do...
Anyhow, if I am going to let my husband do what he loves and desires, at least i can take what I love and make the most of it and to get that type of job requires intensive schooling. Believe me, I would much rather take a cooking or sewing class, but then again, I LOVE to learn and I think it does my brain and body good to keep absorbing lots and lots of information. Will I remember what the 10th amendment is a year from now, nope, sure won't, but I will remember how to do a school budget or how to properly massage a child with cerebral palsy without hurting them.
So, is it worth it? My family may not think so right now since they are the ones who have truly had to sacrifice, but I am hoping that I can repay them in a few years and maybe my children will understand the importance of education and be a little more disciplined than some will be. Of course it could backfire and they may not ever want to step foot on a college. Guess we'll have to see.
