Awwww...I Wanted to Cry
Yesterday we had this meeting to discuss our work in the community - promoting education. I am Vice-President & Treasurer of this organization that WAS funded by the State of Texas until universities abused the usage of the fund - something like that. We're on our own now, but I don't care - as long as I get to promote education and make a difference - I am a happy camper.
Our director of LEAD (Letting Education Achieve Dreams) shared that there were some good comments about me on a survery that was handed out on Friday's visit. I felt real warm inside - this fulfills me. Being able to work in the community and make a difference. I wanted to cry I felt that good. Use my unique approach to tell students how possible it is to go to college. I know I"ve posted about this before, but it means so much to me. I"ve gotta share again. I felt so great that people "heard" my message so well that they commented on it. I could die a happy satisfied woman. I take PASSION in everything that I do. I get so excited about going to give a presentation or doing another activity.
We have a lot coming up - as in a lot of activities. I love to tell people that not everyone is "colllege - bound;" there are technical schools, cosmeotology schools, culinary art schools. All different types of schools. As long as they pursue higher edu. That is what is important.
You know, I don't have children and sometimes, I don't think I will. (got some poetry about it) If I have children - GREAT, sino - if not, still GREAT. Because working with students in the community fulfills me, the way I try to motivate them. The way I stay in touch with some of them, mentoring and guiding.
I have my nieces and nephews; I feel so proud in my family that my parents and older siblings say "Look @ Elsie going to college, you gotta make something of yourself like that." It's taken time - the adjustment of college and family - but they're getting used to the idea. I feel as if I am fulfilling my mission: setting a family tradition of education as well as passing that on to others who DON'T know. I feel as if I've started a new evolving cycle for ALL humanity - especially the WOMEN b/c we reproduce - with the example of my life, and I hope and pray I can continue doing this...
