so i went an entire day without blogging...maybe that's good. yesterday, i watched the whole rememberance thingie on tv and finally broke down crying for the first time in a while. i guess you could say that i finally woke up to all the stuff that had been going on. it's kinda real now. well, not much else went on yesterday....went to band rehearsal and then chilled at andre's with my buds. woke up and went to breakfast, and now i'm going to see if i can go home and be with my family for a while...as much as they drove me nuts this summer, it would be nice to see them now. so this entry's a short one kids, but i'll see y'alls later. peace and pixy stix!
Struggling between commerce and the greater good...
...is emotionally draining. My current job allows me to work with schools in such a way that I'm beginning to realize yet again that I should be a teacher. To have the ability to work with kids and inspire them to work hard and get ready for the real world...that's something that's of real merit. That's something to truly be proud of. Even only reaching one kid a year out of the 30 or more you may teach...that's one kid that you've inspired to read more or write more or become a scientist or a teacher or the next President. I don't care if you think this sounds cliched...it's the truth. Anyway, now I'm in a position where the things that I really want to do can't be accomplished with the job that I currently have. Frustrating, yes. Surprising, no. Long time readers really know how not surprising this is. But things are ok for now. I'm thinking about lots of stuff and keeping busy at work and focusing on things that will help me keep my sanity...
