so i volunteer my time at an elementary school helping children that need that extra attention. i was told by one of the students in the class (5th grade) that, " because i didnt go to collage, thats y im a volunteer, cus i cant find a real job"
i couldnt believe that he said that to me. i just blew that off until i was walking in the hall and as i was passing by him, he says " so hows that collage degree going?"
i know kids can be cruell and im not trying to let it get to me, but it was a big blow to my self esteem. i did let the teacher know what was said. so im thinking he took care of it.
but as i was growing up i was always told that your not smart enough, good enough. the reason i volunteer is because i have the time to do it. its not because i cant find a job. idk, i guess i just needed to get that off my chest.
