Wednesday! And...another answer!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! For those of you who guessed that Kate Spade's Occasions was my library book...you would be correct. What a fabulous little book! I have really been enjoying looking through it...it's definitely a book I'd like to own!

That being said...let's move along to my next question!

Jackie asked: What kind of kids do you work with? Do you like it? I ask because I work with mostly minority disadvantaged children and always wonder what other schools are like.

To be honest, this is a brand-new population for me. The majority of the kids I see here at the high school are caucasian, which is definitely new for me, and very poverty-stricken - but in a much more rural way. This is a very rural, country area, and many of my kids spend their afternoons and weekends working on their family farms - definitely not something I came in contact with in DC! I really feel as though rural poverty is very different than urban poverty. Don't get me wrong - it is certainly still poverty - but it has a very different feel to it. I'm still very new to the rural population, so I'm still feeling things out - but I'd really like my readers' viewpoints on this one!

Previously, I've had experience with a the population you have described above, Jackie - minority, disadvantaged kids. That really describes the type of kids I worked with in foster care. And, when I worked at the hospital, I worked with everyone from homeless veterans to Peace Corps volunteers to Senators and everything in between!
