I volunteered in my sons' school three days a week and what I loved most was helping the children who were struggling academically. <BR/><BR/>I doubt if it will happen here.

I'm trying to figure out my career path, too, but I like your plan of just taking the first step. I'm always overwhelmed by the "I'm going to be a ______".

I didn't know if it was real or fictional and had a devil of a time finding the source. I can understand your reluctance for emotional investment. I feared it when I was younger, but it makes it very worth it. You just find outlets for it to keep you balanced. <BR/><BR/>Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322778291206842093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11316075.post-1119021192713834292005-06-17T10:13:00.000-05:002005-06-17T10:13:00.000-05:00Here via Michele.
