This is for 'Party Summer' ...
For the record, I grew up dirt poor, have been on my own since I was 16, and have never had anything handed to me in my life. I put myself through College to become a Registered Nurse and I put a loved one through school to become a Chef. I have learned that nothing feels as good as being able to pay your own way and know that when all is said and done, that hard work builds character. I volunteer with several community based services and work 2 jobs. I love being a nurse and I love being able to work to help people who are often at their worst. I firmly believe in the "Teach a man to fish" tenet.
If this makes me a cruel and heartless person, well, hand me my trophy ... I'll put it up next to the collection of cards and letters I have from people I have helped along the way.
I'll stop drinking bottled water when the water commission can do something about the foul smelling and tasting water in my area ... this happened last year and it's happened again ...
