a couple of firsts happened today. after my gerontology exam, dr. hancock pronounced my name accurately as i handed my exam in. this was the first time somebody has ever pronounced my name correctly when referring to me by ratha for the first time. it caught me off guard, i looked up at her with bug eyes i was so thrown off. another first that’s happening is i’m filing my taxes myself. typically, i send all my information to ms. susan along with my parents, but this year i figured i’d attempt to do mine after talking to my mom. it’s an important skill to have, and what better time to learn than now?
