So...one of these days...I think I'd want to be a foster/adoptive parent. There are so many kids out there without good homes who need them desperately. I've always been somewhat of an advocate for this cause. I cannot explain why I feel so strongly about it, consciously, but I do.
(Yes, I have a heart. Haha.)
I also realize that at this point in my life, I am not mentally prepared to undertake such a thing. I'm also not financially prepared. I'll never be financially prepared, in my humble opinion. However, I do need to be mentally prepared. I need to know what exactly I'm getting into, if that makes any sense at all. I do not make snap decisions normally. This is no exception. In fact, it is a very important decision that needs all angles examined.
I believe that is part of the reason I have such a desire to be a part of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, on a volunteer basis. Am I the best role model? Probably not. Am I a good person in general? I sure as heck hope so. I do know I make mistakes. I am human.
Tonight, I submitted myself as a volunteer into that organization for the second time. I honestly hope that they contact me this time. I really want to try to be a good role model for someone who may or may not need one.
Is this entry more serious than normal? Yes. I have more going on beneath the surface than people realize. Others normally do not see this part of me however. I am comfortable putting my thoughts into words because...there is a good chance that I'll never meet everyone who reads my diary (if anyone, these days). It is also one of my ways to document my thoughts at different stages in my life. Vulnerability is something I find hard to show so feel complimented.--Your neighborhood scaredy-cat, Robyn
