Why?

Court reporting is a profession that most people think they get. When you say,"I'm going to school to become a court reporter." Most people respond by saying,"Oh! You mean the lady in the courtroom with the little "typy thingy?" (finger actions and all) To which, I just smile and nod.

As everyone on this site knows, it is so much more than that. I mean really, other than child birth - sorry men, has anything else made you cry more than not passing a speed test? Or listening to that person who started ___ years after you come back to the school and tell you how much money he or she is making? I didn't know the human body could produce so many tears!

But we hang in there because we all have a "why." "Why am I doing this? Why is it so important that I not quit?" Or the occasional, "Why didn't I just go to nursing school? I would have been done by now." We all know why we are willing to put up with non-passes, fingers that don't work when the dictation is great, and going to our cars to cry. If you are reading this, and you don't have your "why," please don't close your eyes to sleep tonight until you figure it out. The answer to your "why" is going to help you dry your tears and get those fingers-a-movin again.

My "why" is a very simple one. I do it for all the faces that you see below. Especially, the three little ones. And including my own.

Oh yes, my machine is coming with me. I'll just keep it in the tent so it won't get dirty. But an hour in that tent does not excite me. It gets hot during the day.

Oh everything is moving along. I spent 3 hours in the lab yesterday transcribing 4 takes. all credits. oh well, at least I turned something in. But on a brighter note, I'm doing well in my requirements classes and real-time. I like real-time. I just need to make time to practice more. How are you doing? How are those lovely babies??

Wow, great pics! Your family is adorable.

I decided to keep my Stylus, and I'm so glad I did. I love it. I highly recommend it. It's lightweight, records audio, has the SD card and flash card backup. It's awesome. Sorry!

Hey, I see you're in LA. You should come to the SoCal CSR Outings. We've had 12 so far. If you're interested, send me your email address, and I'll add you to the invitation list. Email me at marlavous@hotmail.com.

Good luck in school!!

lol!! your pics just reminded me how much I love vacationing with family and friends. The 'flip floped feet' was from a cruise we took for a cousin's wedding. i love looking at other people's vacation pictures. They make me feel like I'm there too and I get a big kick out of seeing other people having fun. I don't think I'll be vacationing until I'm out of school then.....WATCH OUT!!! (but camping is a yearly must. I'll just take my machine with me). thanks for the encouragement and keep posting the pictures. I love them!! prayers to you tool. We need more of us out there.

Oh I'm quiting. I love this. The school is great. The teachers are all very supportive and encouraging. I've just passed one 70.
I loved the Bahamas! I'm looking forward to going back someday. Of course any cruise is good for me. Keep in touch. I'm on my way home to start on homework. The intro to Legal System is really challenging me plus I have a lot of rib and read homework to get done by Monday. Stay in contact, by the way, you family is beautiful. I kind of miss having little ones around.

Thanks for the friendship! I'm so happy to see african-american women doing this. I have to say that you can really tell what someone is made of if they've decided to become a court reporter. It also says a lot about their families. I can really relate to the feelings of 'passing' a speed. I just passed my 60's and I was so happy!! full speed ahead. By the way, where did you go on your vacation?
