Five days and counting...

To my dearest friend who along with her dear friend took me out on Sat. allowing me the freedom to cut loose. I say a big Thank You! To my dearest friend and her wonderful sister, who took me in these last few days allowing me a bed to sleep I say a big Thank You! To my Nik-ki to has given me a room and laundry along with the use of her time for transporting me around town these last few weeks I say Thank You! To "Chelly" who after reading her email reminded me that people remain connected even when the seams of relationships get wripped by distance, I say Hello! and Thank You! Finally to my best-es cousin in the whole world who calls just to remind me that my time is limited and I am almost about to walk the "sacred halls of wisdom" reclaiming my freedom from the walls of the work force...I say Thank You!

I used to love to teach. I was a camp counselor for two years, and I enjoyed every minute of being with children. Then came the place that I currently work at (which will be ending in five days). And needless to say I was able to work with the most diverse group of uniquely minded teens...

So now I am quitting!(because I am leaving to live in the dorm, so I can "study better with my 21 credits without distraction, so I can get the hell out of college before my baby sister graduates before me) and I think the people I will miss most are my kids! I have the brightest most intelligent kids at the school who really don't realize thier potential. I feel an almost sad feeling creep into my heart when I think okay...these kids if they don't really have the proper guidiance could end up not succeeding. But I get happy when I hear them say "I want to be just like you or better" becuase then I realize that I am staring into the faces of dr.'s and Lawyers not teenage mothers, crack heads and drug addicted felons.

Hopefully in a few years, I can meet up with them in the real world and be proud of the positive influence I have had on them. As for the school... Ah! that is a different story for a different day...

I hope in these few days left I can make some impact on some life before its too late
