So I have had a wonderful time volunteering for the Red Sox games to help out Hearts and Homes and an interesting thing happened the other day. There is a young lady who manages all the booths to make sure they are up and running and I was admiring her hard work. I wanted to let her know that I think she is a great young lady and admired her work ethic but before I had a chance she walked up to me and asked if she could talk to me for a min. Scared that I had done something wrong I said sure. She sat down next to me and said I heard you were in the Army and served in Iraq. With relief I said yes. She went on to tell me how she thought that it was so cool and wanted to know how my time was and why I got out. As I explained my answers to her I thought how ironic this situation was. I cant do a lot of the things that I used to because of what I have been through. I would love to be able to handle the things I could before like managing people and stressful situations but I cant do it like I used to. I wish I could do what she is doing! She sat in admiration and told me how I make her want to do bigger and better things in life and I told her to take on the world! Does it make me less of a person because I cant do all that I used to? For some reason it feels like it even though I know I have a lot of other great qualities. I still want to take on the world I guess I will just need more help now. Interesting to want to be more like her while she wants to be more like me!?!
