back from the lost ones...

no.

i am not dead.

i have been in hiding with 9th graders.

things are slightly slower today. and someone important told me i needed to post. so here i am.

this has been a hard summer. in a great way. in a nostalgic way. i remember feeling this way before. working. challenged. finding a new mistake and new way to learn every day. i am remembering that i care about this work.. it is a novelty again, to spend my days doing something i feel is incredibly worthwhile... supporting children.

it has been trying. some of these thirteen year olds are going through more than i have been through in my life. so much to endure, even though the majority of the camp are "priveleged" kids. even kids with porsche's have problems... often serious... it is a sign that all kids need our help.

i want to go back to school. i think i'm ready for an education degree.... i think its something i'm looking for... hoping for... looking to improve and learn and help...

feeling good. tired, but good.
love to all, i'm trying to stay in touch,

megan
