Today, Galye, i continued looking for volunteering positions for the summer. I teach a high need population of teens who i know i help, but who are not particularly good at showing appreciation. I have been working with them for 7 years and i am probably a little burnt out. Volunteering might feed that part of my soul that needs to be appreciated for helping out. So far i haven't found the program that i can fit into my schedule, but i am still looking.

Thank you for your hug and advice. I have to learn how to be able to relate to people without the need to be close close friends.
