Did any of you head off to University after leaving the org
by yaddayadda inone of my biggest regrets is not getting a degree, due to the jw brain-washing against higher education.
i feel a strong sense of never having reached my academic potential and having been restricted in many ways by this.
i was a high achiever at high school + some teachers were bemused that i never went on to varsity.

I'm livid...
by Cady inwalking one of the kids i work with to school this morning and there's a dirty syringe on the sidewalk.
this is just two blocks from the middle school and tons of kids walk down that sidewalk on their way to school.. i used to not think much about drug use - my attitude was, you want to screw up your life, go ahead.
but now that i work with kids who've often been deprived of a good home b/c their parents are addicts...when i'm 100 feet from a shooting that is drug-related...and most of all when i see the dealers drive by in their rides and the kids ooh and awe over them and see that as some kind of shining example of where their lives could go...i'm becoming very disgusted and angry in general.
