LauraJ Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Sometimes my days are tough at work. It is wonderful to take a five minute break, check in on the forum and being inspired by what others are working on, reading some of the chatter and being touched by the wonderful, kind, sharing hearts on this forum. This week has been more difficult than most. Working in a local middle school in the counseling department, I see and know of what students go through. This week alone it's been rape, drug abuse, bullying - don't need to go on. You all get the picture. I'm thankful for all the regular kids who are funny, bright, enthusiastic about their education. My heart breaks for the others - there's nothing I can do but be "Mama Laura". Thank you to all of you quilters who give so much to others with encouragement, ideas, laughter and QUILTING! You make my day so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Let me thank you Laura, for being Mama Laura to those kids! My youngest daughter became a teacher in public schools after being a home schooler all her life. She wanted to make a difference in those troubled lives. My prayers are with you both!

Mary Beth Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Laura, I bet you do see a lot of things we can't even imagine. It makes me so sad to see what our some of our children go through that cause them not to be able to just enjoy being a kid. Like Bonnie said, thank you for caring for and being there for those children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Laura, I retired after 30 years and could have worked many more years if it hadn't been for the stress from all the 'junk!" Teaching was wonderful but oh, the problems those kids bring to class with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
