t-minus two weeks or so til I leave my present job and start out my new life as a teacher on the bottom of the ladder—a substitute. Shelley is a bit nervous about the change, worried about whether or not we can afford to add myself onto her insurance policy. It had me doubting my decision to leave Target, even though being there is a massive weight on my soul. Tonight reaffirmed my decision, however. I can’t believe how savage people are in stores, where they don’t own any of the stuff they’re messing with. I shudder at the thought of how little respect the world has for other people’s property and sense of order. I’m anxious to become a teacher, just to try to drive home the idea of respect to some of the masses out there in the world.
It may be an impossible dream—but it is a dream, and one I will strive to achieve.
