Assignments From My Daughter #27 By Larry Chadwick L.L. Bean wasn’t really her style. But then again that hat. She had to have that hat. It would work so perfect with her classroom. So she sat down at her computer and proceeded to write a whole sequence of topic titles. Relying on her kindergarten experience she got her scissors out and separated each title into a single paper strip. When they were folded in half they went into her hat. And the hat went to her high school English classroom. It would do her juniors and seniors good to write impromptu papers on random topics. Assignment #27 “I Was So Embarrassed!”: For those who know me it is no surprise that my embarrassment is in retrospect. At the age of thirty-eight I was fired for the first time. The fall was made harder because I was at the highest position I had ever held. And the fall could not have been deeper. However, my embarrassment is not that I was fired. Then again the experience taught me invaluable lessons. In my four year spiral I let us end up homeless. And I took a part-time job as a janitor (without being seen as over qualified) with my college degree. The worst shame was neither the job nor the living circumstances. Though it was a challenge the worst part was to think that I let somebody else own my self-esteem, now that is embarrassing.

Good Evening, You have nothing to be embarrassed about as you have taken over ownership! I can almost say been there and done that....but I can positively say don't wanna go back. Life is not a destination it is the adventure in getting there! pictureme :-) |

pictureme, And the valleys often teach more than the peaks! Thank you for understanding.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
