I started my new job last week and so far I am really enjoying it..The people around here are very nice and my boss reminds me of Santa Claus which is cool as I LOVE Christmas..~laughs~..I'm learning alot of new things which is never a bad thing, and I'm picking up things quickly it seems or at least I'm being told I am, which makes me feel really good about myself..It's been a couple of years since I worked cause of moving and Immigration..and I was wondering if I was just getting dumb..but their comments have made me feel good again..
I work for a State Mental Health Mental Retardation Center, and these people are truly sweet in nature..What they have to go through just to survive breaks my heart..And to realize that their own parents don't want them at times is just inhuman..The fault does not lay with the child but with the parents and at times genetics..They can not help how they are, and most wish to be independent with alittle help..Which is what we all wish from day to day, but for them it just takes alittle more..I can't understand why their parents treat them as they do, or why the "outside" world for lack of a better term does..They are truly sweet people, who honestly just want someone to care about them and listen to them..Which we all do, we stop in the hallways and talk to them, make them laugh and laugh with them and that is all they truly want..is to "belong"
For those people who don't understand that and who either make fun of them, critize them or just think they shouldn't belong in the first place, my heart aches for "you"..you are missing out on a large deal of good people, and laughter..it warms my heart to see them laugh when they wander down the hall and see Goofy on my computer..
They are people to.. Different may be..but we are all different in one way or another..
So the next time you see someone..smile at them and say hello..You very well have just made their day..Just by acknowledging that you saw them..and they are people to.
