So near yet so far
Since I am the youth minister for my church (I know, right) I had all these great plans, trips and fundraisers figured out. We were so excited to bring the members to the rally next month and the youth conference in January. Well. Kids these days...they'd rather play on the computer or go to their friends house than attend meetings I guess. That is so sad to me, but what can you do if their parents aren't encouraging them? After the success of our Lunar Moon Festival I thought it would hype them up. Thieu Nhi was fun when I was younger and everyone looked forward to activities. I know how crazy our society is and the least I wanted to do was help strengthen their faith before they're thrown into the real world. For now, CCD will have to do.
Sometimes when we're out having drinks I think in my head, "what kind of youth minister am I?" I remember at the youth conference in January I was chaperoning the kids at the dance. They were having a great time when I decided to join and you know what one of them said to me? "Go, Teresa! You know you be dancin' at the clubs!" And they were just standing there laughing at me. I don't know if it's because my moves were out of style or because there was a slight chance they were thinking, "our teacher is cool!"
Life is so BLAH! when you have a job + schedule = repetition. There are many days where I tell myself I should just forget it and go crazy! My only problem is that this town is too small. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't just stay in school for a few more years? The working world can be so crazy! I tried to convince mom and myself that I wanted to go for my mba in the spring. Of course, I have only two hands and there's not enough hours in a day. I'll take an exam over starting a business anyday.
I can't wait until everything is completely situated. I can't wait to say "my schedule is full this week." I can't wait to get over the hump of "the first years of starting a business." I'm just afraid that when the two year limit I gave myself is up, I may not want to move. I have everything I need right now, but what I really want is still out of reach.
