I am honored to work in my field

I work for an organization that serves individuals with developmental disabilities. I have been a part of this organization for the last 26 years. I haven learned so much from working with this population. The rewards have been incredible. I am truly grateful for being a part of their journey. Today I was moved to tears and I was just in awe of my client and what he can do. I met him for the first time today. He has severe Autism. He is non verbal but the words are in his soul . You see he can express all of his heart through the written word .He is brilliant with his words he has a blog that he created. He graduated from Biola university and he was at the top of his class. I am so grateful to be his service coordinator now. I watched his documentary today and I know in my soul why I do what I do. It’s an honor and a privilege to do my job.

I studied special ed too and regular teaching at the same time...and the last semester I had to get up and describe how I got from home to school and I couldn't say it, so I graduated with a Psych degree instead and spent the rest of my life homeless friendless and destitute and scorned by one and all.

no special school for me, maybe if I were still 12...

some losers are secret winners but unfortunately I wasn't one of them. And theres no one who doesnt sneer at me now for making my own failure.

So **** me I am begging the world. JUST DO IT. I cant say I wanna *** cause that's a big crime and it sure pays the rescuers...

LOL!!!!
