I understand working with at -risk youths. I was one and worked with them later on. I remember when I was 15, high school drop out who's second home was the mall. I partied alot, luckily never got into the heavy drug scene. Anyway's, the head of security pulled me aside one day,when I was with a huge group of friends, and he told me to go back to school. He said that he saw a potential in me that he didn't see in the others and to do something with my life. Those words always stuck with, and even though I made misstakes, it was that little conversation that really pushed me to do something better. I later worked with psych and then correctional kids. It dous take a toll on you, but you just never know the effect you have on these kids. And if one session will plant a seed, like it did me, and it changes their livves, it is well worth it. He will probebly never see the end result of the seed he planted, but I can tell you this, it saved me. And the kids I worked with, I don't know if reached any of them, but if I did, it worth all the stress. These kids are going through hell. They need careing people to love and care for them, most of them never had that. Please don't feel like I'm putting you down. The toll it took on you is a harsh one, and feel that you feel that no matter what you do it dousn't make a difference, but sweetie, I promise you it dous, I'm living proof of that.
Before you throw this away, or go back and seek some guidnce. You went into this field with something. You've lost the passion, try and find it again before walking away.It dous make a world of difference. hope this helps you. I will pray for guidence and peace for you.
Blessed Be
