I feel special now. (I don't anyone besides you reads my blog). I'm trying to use it to talk more psych stuff- both the science and how it relates to my life. Keep commenting so I'll be inspired to write more.<br /> Anyways, about meeting people- its a lot harder when your job is entertaining teens and their overbearing parents. This is probably the lamest part of my job. Because most of my ethusiam has to come from me (or my kids). I'm not surrounded by a bunch of driven peers to inspire me. And I mean meaningless more in the sense that its not meaningful to me. I really feel like I'm actually more capable of helping the kids I tutor than anyone else because I'm sooo like them. As much as I'm serving those that have already been served, I really am much better at tutoring AP Chem rather than remedial literacy. Mostly because I was never a illerate teen. Liberal idealogy maintains helping those that in pretty good shape is less noble than helping those at the bottom. I hope that there is enough goodness in this world that we can all be brought up rather than having us all equalled out.</p> Cool. I feel special now. (I don’t anyone besides you reads my blog).
