Tonight I met the janitor that cleans where I work, and I started helping her pick up trash irresponsible students left under their desks. The janitor was an older woman, and she started asking me about the classes offered at RSU, so I told her a little about my degree. She told me she didn’t get her GED until she was 35, and she was going to turn her life around by going to college, but something happened and it kept her from pursuing her goals. She said she attended school in Missouri, and her son was about 17 or 18 and living in Oklahoma with his father when she received the news he was in a car accident involving a drunk driver. His brain capacity is now equal to an 8 year old. This incident forced her to move to Oklahoma to take care of him, and now she is a janitor. It really broke my heart. Not just because of her son, but because of people like me that take everything for granted. We get upset over things like cars, ipods, computers, the internet… We complain about our stupid little problems, that aren’t problems at all. Sometimes I catch myself getting angry over the smallest things, when I should be thankful I am alive and healthy. I just felt like I needed to write my feelings down, so someday when I think I have it bad I’ll remember I don’t. I am very lucky and very thankful.
