Everyday I see the new day the new age. As I go work to my Alma Matter every week I learn so much. Although I am always in a way put on this pedestal I know they don't always mean it. I know we were some of the smartest in Math and science and well it was obvious I excelled in music but it's the feeling of having the opportunity to give back. Sure sometimes I feel bad that I have to destroy kid's research papers but at the end they will learn that they need to re-read what they write in order to make them better writers. Sure, I am not one to speak but I am also receiving the opportunity to learn a lot from great teachers and an assisstant principal without having to be a classroom for a while. I am still deciding what I am going to go back to school for but for sure is that I want to get a Master's in School Administration and maybe if I ever go far enough maybe a Doctorate in Education... I know it would be extremely hard but we'll see where the wind takes us all. I know we want always assume we will live forever but it's nice not to think that we are going to die, if you know what I mean. For many years my only concern was always when life ends and the lack of consequences but once one starts to mature and realize that many more people have it worse. But, that thought is not to give a boost to my ego, it doesn't! It actually saddens me. I truly wish I could help those in need. There are so many people homeless without money and food. I know the little that I have given will never be enough and I'm not satisfied. I feel guilty I could never look at them in their eyes and it's not because I feel they need to get a job or they are going to purchase something they don't need it's because it's not fair I have my car and my parents allow me to live with them and those people have no where to go at the end of the night. I know I was only able to get a part time job even after having a degree but what do they have to vouch for. With the lack of jobs or either being under or over qualified the chances of landing something good at a reasonable pay is not likely. I, at least, feel happy that I was able to purchase a pair of shoes now and not have to were old worn out slippers. Yeah, I know if I asked my parents maybe they would have helped me buy a pair but is that responsible. They have hardships and too maybe if you ask me. Life is hard for everyone overall but nobody is giving up yet.
