I know I've thought that about every job I've had and every job I've ever seen. My dad says this is why you get an education, so that eventually, you get to be the overpaid and underworked boss. That's the dream, right? That you work your ass off, sacrificing your youth and probably all the other important things in life to one day be able to set the rules, at which point you won't even give a damn any more. <br /><br />Anyway, my point is: I think you doing this, sacrificing like this, putting someone else's needs above your own, being poor and stressed out in order to try to make the world a better place, is super inspiring. And YOU are my hero. And I am SUPER proud of you. And these kids in this district are lucky to have someone who has a heart like yours, because you work tirelessly to make an impact. And even if it's small, even if it's just one starfish that you throw back into the ocean, it's one starfish. And that starfish makes a big difference. Again, to quote my dad--you probably won't know until the end, or well after the end, what sort of impact you've made. But maybe you implement something that makes a small difference for one kid. And that kid doesn't join a gang or something, and instead s/he grows up to be President. And President kid-you-helped makes a big change that helps a lot of kids that go on to help a lot of kids, and none of that would have happened if you didn't freeze in some Spanish-speaking hell.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05411135866204259911noreply@blogger.com
