theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave ManifestoDocumenting the JED Experience Thursday, July 31, 2003I was walking through the neighborhood last night. These teenagers in an SUV pulled up and parked on the curb next to the sidewalk about where I was walking. It was a boy and a girl. They both looked and me like they new me. The guy got out of the car and yelled, "Mr. MYLASTNAME." They were old clients that I had when I used to work in land of the beautiful people. I stopped and talked with them for a second. When they told me who they were I remembered. These clients grow quite a bit from when I worked with them 4 years ago, so it makes them hard to recognize. As I walked on my way, the dude said to me, "You made Spanish KICK ASS!" It made me feel good for a second. This is not the first time this has happened. I've run into former clients before. It was good that I impacted the lives of the youth, especially since I was treated poorly by adminstration and was shown the door. Looking back, leaving the land of the beautiful people was a good thing, because I like what I'm doing now. If I was still there, it might really be sucking for me. theJEDMAN .: posted by Jed 10:04 PM |
