I am in a detention center for juveniles. I have shoplifted and been caught. My mom comes to visit me at the center. It will be a while before I get out of this detention center for one more year in Texas. I like comedy movies. I live in Texas. My Mom lives in Texas too. I have old friends that have not contacted me since I have been in jail. I used to visit parks. I am young. I do not have kids. I eventually want to have a lot of kids. I do not currently have a job. I'd like to get a job working on a computer. I don't have much work experience. I'm worried my past will keep me from getting a good job. I would like to help kids keep from making mistakes like myself.
I am a doctor. I work at a center. I am looking for a new place to work. My favorite movie is Friday. I live in Nebraska with my daughter. I live near a park. I have a 10 year old daughter. I am in the process of changing my daughters school and my job. My daughter likes the park. I like my child. I only want to have one more child. I like volunteer work.
Do you think your daughter will want to follow in your shoes and be a doctor one day? I'm not sure. I've thought about it, but it isn't something I want to push on her. She's under a lot of pressure as it is changing schools and moving. Really, right now all I want is her to be happy and focus in school and do well. As long as she is successful, I'll be happy with whatever she decides to do I think. But I wouldn't be mad if she decided to follow in my footsteps! Good to keep your options open, and be receptive. Sometimes we have to listen better, and our kids will show us, tell us what they need. I admire you being a doctor Thank you. I admire your work, too. We have both dedicated our lives to the helping of others. I think that you must find your work with children extremely rewarding, even if difficult at times. It seems like a natural thing, although these days I'm trying to listen to the kids better. We have our pre conceived notions, and sometimes if they're happy being simple, let that be.  Once you get your life together, and get focused, I'm sure you'll be able to provide lots of help to other children that were in your position.  I hear you. The big thing is being seeing with equal respect, and asking questions, before making judgments. Judgments can shut me down sometimes, from others. We have to make amends too.  People will always have their judgements. I think it's best to try and not let it have any bearing on what you do and how you feel, and always just follow your heart. You're not a bad kid, you've just made some mistakes. I think you have the right attitude to really turn this thing around. We will see. We are learning all kinds of things at school. We learn Speech and Debate, Writing, although listening skills, why they never teach that. Have you ever taken classes on that? Of course! We have to take all kinds of classes before we can ever go to school for our Doctorates. I also took classes like speech and debate. But I think you prose a very important question about "listening skills", because listening is fundamentally so much more important. Agreed. I follow and trust by example. Just have a couple rules to be my friend, maybe I'll tell you what they are some day. Well, whatever those rules are, I'll be glad to be your friend and help you with anything I can!
