Today is municipal Election Day. There is not as much buzz as there is for provincial or federal elections. I have been talking to a number of co-workers about today’s election. It seems like not a lot of people care. The most common comment that I keep hearing is “how do I pick the lesser of two evils”. I think this is a big problem. Why is it that people who run for political office are portrayed as evil? Who is it who makes this image? Is it the other people running for office, or the media, or maybe just a long running distrust in public officials? I don’t know.
Today I am back to work. I am not sure how I feel, but I have this deep feeling that I want more, almost like my talents and skills are not being used. I do the best I can do with every student I am assigned to work with. Even if it is not in my job description I will do it. There is so much I want to accomplish and learn. Everyday in my job I see people doing things that I just watch and shake my head. I need to find the strength and courage to say or do something about it. You just know that if anyone finds out I said anything, the persecution will start. But I feel deep in my heart that I should do what I feel is right. As my mission statement says “I believe in standing up for what is right and standing up to what is wrong”. It is time to walk the talk.
