My Part Time Job

I no longer protest in front of the school each morning.   I no longer pester the principal and councilor and school board about policy changes.   I accept that I got the most egregious actions changed at this school district.

However, I still go and sit and "monitor" the military recruiters when they come soliciting.  

That is my part time job.   I like it.   I have to go less and less as time goes on.  This is my 4th year of being a "monitor" and each year fewer and fewer military recruiters opt to travel to this small rural school district.   Go figure.  

I still have strong feelings that children should not be solicited for any future endeavors that they cannot get out of, if they change their mind.     I mean, you and I likely have the option of looking for another job, or car or spouse.    The military does not give children that option.    

I plan on being the "monitor" for years to come.   It does not take too much of my time, and as a friend told me, "You may be saving many lives here and around the world."  I had to think about that and I admit she may be right.

I would totally suggest that anyone who wishes to save lives, go be a "monitor" at your local public school.   Thank you.
