Beauty School Dropout? Heck No!

So I said to myself from the beginning that I wouldn't sugar coat anything. So one of the discoveries that i have made recently, or at least it has come to the forefront is that Beauty School for me has not been fun.
Its odd to say and feel but Beauty school has been the hardest thing i have ever done. It has been stressful and challenging and most often frustrating. I have found that I have no natural aptitude to do most of the skills that I am learning, and you have to learn manual dexterity from the ground up. It is surprisingly hard. I also know that having the comparison to make between Dance, Acting, and Entertainment which I was extremely passionate about, that there is actually no comparison to hair. I am not passionate about hair.
Having said all of that I am in my tenth month, with only several more to go till I graduate. I am not considering stopping at this point. 1. Because I have come to far to turn back now. 2. I don't see any other viable options at this point 3. I still hope that once I am out of school and making my own way that things will get better.
I have found that I am a linear learner, which the teaching at Paul Mitchell is often not linear. I will continue on and I will keep you posted on how things change.
