I'm so sick of ungrateful people that walk around with their hands out, but are not willing to put forth any effort to better themselves. I have people literally crying my shoulder about how sick and tired they are of the situations they're in. So I should not have to bribe and beg people to get them to come to an event that will improve the lives of them and their children.
I'm so frustrated with "my people" proving "them" right. Early Childhood Education and programs for low income families are always the first to take a hit when the government starts to make cuts. A lot of people want to cry racism or discrimination against the poor. While that may be true in some instances in the wider scope of things the problem is it's a waste of money! *gasp did she just go there* YES I DID!
I've come to the conclusion that most poor people are poor by choice. *waiting for the virtual tarring and feathering to begin* Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean those like myself that are working people that have fallen on hard times due to the downfall of the economy. I mean people that are part of the generational welfare curse. Those that feel like the government owes them something, yet won't get off of their butts to vote, or God forbid get a job and further their educations.
I guess I set my expectations too high when it comes to people. I'm fighting an uphill battle while blindfolded, with one arm tied behind my back.
Now that I've had my rant of the moment, I can get back to planning for the next event. Even if out of 200 families only 3 show up, hopefully those three will be impacted.
Smh, sad but true.
