there's this one kid at my job who kept asking me why i work there at the youth lodge program- i told him it's because of the huge paycheck i get.

there's been a couple times when i had such a suckazz time at work- when i'm feeling especially frustrated with my unit and feeling like the worst counselor ever- a kid tells me at the end of the night that i was very helpful by handling situations firm and fairly  and never yelling or showing my anger or frustrations with the residents. another time the same kid told me that i was helpful by not judging the residents on the foolish actions that they do but instead believing in them that the can do awesome things. 

i know its hard to understand what i do or go through at the youth lodge and the type of kids i work with unless you work at my job or work in a setting just like it.  i've never experienced anything close to what the kids i work with have gone through in their lives, but  i know there is more to life than programs and detention center.  i see alot of sadness and disappointing crap at the program, but if i can show just even one of these kids that they are deserving of a happy life and help guide them to overcome their issues and obstacles to achieve one.. then all the time and hard work is worth it.

i'm so blessed and grateful that i work at the youth lodge.  Thank God for giving me an opportunity to work there... Thanks to Crystal for telling me I should apply in the first place!

By the way... i haven't seen a concert in over a year! BOO!
