Why have I worked so hard at&nbsp;restaurants&nbsp;and odd jobs for college money? Why have I spent sleepless nights staring at my notes? Why have I sacrificed time with friends to research just a little more for that project?&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the best kindergarten teacher in the entire world! I was a little&nbsp;English&nbsp;girl thrown into a French school without understanding a single word anyone spoke to me. She was terribly patient and had a closet full of stuff she would whip out to teach me the language. Someone would talk about a bear, she would hand me a little teddy bear. Another kid would share a story about baking cookies with Mommy, and she would pull out a cook book for me to flip through.&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/56717276526678791_f4fEm7o1_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/56717276526678791_f4fEm7o1_c.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/56717276526678791/"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">source</span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to have her as my 1st grade teacher too...but everything changed after that. Instead of my 2nd grade teacher making me feel loved, or special, or like I could accomplish anything I set my mind to, she put me down. I don't remember many smiles from her, and I remember crying at my desk because I just didn't understand what she was saying. She didn't take that extra step to explain the new vocabulary to me, she just frowned.&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My 3rd grade teacher wasn't any better. I was student who often&nbsp;struggled&nbsp;with simple math just because I couldn't keep my french numbers straight. She always sat me in the back of the classroom, even though my eyesight was poor, and called me out whenever I wasn't looking her in the eye. She criticized my pictures that I gave her as gifts, and would even go as far as announcing my horrible math grade to the entire class. I spent several&nbsp;recesses&nbsp;sitting at my desk doing her extra homework.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/207376757811162355_oFuXX4rj_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/207376757811162355_oFuXX4rj_c.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/207376757811162355/"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">source</span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I felt like a&nbsp;worthless and dumb little girl.

Shop Shop Shop</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&nbsp;Take your time. I shopped around for almost a year because picking out something I thought he would like.&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picking out a ring that he'll wear for the rest of his life is slightly stressful, so don't rush yourself.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>2. Talk</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be sure to tell the clerk exactly what you're looking for. They tend to pull out the shiniest, most pricey rings to draw your attention away from the more&nbsp;affordable&nbsp;ones. Don't let them dazzle you with a glittery show. Let them know your budget and general style of ring you're interested in.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. On the doted line</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't put yourself in a corner so you feel the enormous pressure to buy "today". Let the clerk know that you're "looking around" or "window shopping". This takes off some of the pressure and lets you see the ring for what it is...not all the sparkles and&nbsp;commercials.&nbsp;</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>4. Stand your ground</b></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyone who knows me knows that I have a very hard time saying "no" to people. But when it comes to a big purchase like this then you need to stick to your guns. If you don't feel 100% comfortable or are not totally in love with the ring in every way, then don't buy it! Don't let that gorgeous girl behind the counter talk you into how you'll never find another ring like this one is the world, or how she'll give you a special deal because you're just so nice. They see you as a big o'l bag of money and will say anything to get a sale.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay so I guess that about sums is all up.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh what did you say?</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You wanna see this little ring I got here?</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well....this is one of my little secrets.
