Hi Mel, I am 20 years old and have been working with youth in my church for a year now. I had considered majoring in Elementary Education for a long time, but chenged my mind when I realized that because of my health I would not be able to teach very often. It was hard enough for me to be there everyday when I was in school. Now I am an assistant youth pastor for the 7th and 8th graders at my church and I love it. I only have to work 3 – 6 hours a week. I am on disability because of my health I am unable to hold a real paying job. I am real careful about getting my flu shot every year and staying away from sick who seem to be getting sick. Because I can work at my own pace and not worry about coming in if I am feeling bad, I do not really have to worry about the problems for getting sick from working with them. I am however, extra careful in the flu season and get a flu shot every year. After working with the kids for a year now I have decided once I start college I am going to major in child psychology. Good luck and God Bless! Peanut :-)
Response:
Thanks to everyone for your support. I am a little troubled right now because I am somewhat congested and my fiance seems to think that I will be bringing home every illness I encounter. Unfortunately, I have a long history of colds and flus that I constantly ignore until they get really bad. Now I realize that I have to pay some attention to my health. Thank you again. I have an appt. on Monday where I’ll bring this up, along with a grocery list of other things. Mel
