I'm so glad to be back to work. It really all fell into my lap and it was too good to pass up. When I first started working there in 2002 it kinda felt the same way. I started looking for school social work jobs September- not the standard school hiring time. For some reason greater than me I feel that I am suppose to be working at my dear school.
This year has been tough, though. Quite tough. Crazy family situations that are so overwhelming and honestly, lack much hope. Generations of poverty and depression and violence.
Thursday I came home near tears.
On Friday I met with an old grad school friend who is doing amazing, amazing work with families. Her agency's success rates are quite remarkable. We brewed up a partnership.
After I left I called my co-worker expressing my joy and hope.
There are times when God/the Univerise/Love pulls through when we allow it and ask for it and have hope in it.
I am confident that Love will prevail at our little school. That we can live in hope.
Those students/families are blessed to have you.

ReplyDeleteIm not sure how to express in words my thoughts on reading this, so I'll just say I'm glad I read it. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt takes a very special person to be in that line of work. Sounds exhausting and fulfilling at the same time.
ReplyDeleteOh Sarah... I keep feeling like I should call you all weekend but it never seemed like the right time. I felt like we needed a check-in. Now I know why! I'll come find you tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all that you do for our kiddos... you do the hard stuff so the rest of us can do the easier stuff! xo
