Today is the day of the levy. I cannot even express how stressed I'm feeling. It was hard to get out of bed today because I think I sort of thought, "If I don't get out of bed, nothing bad can happen and the day can't go on, right?"
I've been amazed at people in many forms lately. I'm amazed at the passion and inspiration so many have shown but also amazed at the ignorance and harshness of others. As I waved signs the other day I was flipped off, honked at, and given the finger several times. I wish people understood that I truly believe I am fighting for everyone in this cause. I want our society to thrive. I believe that without education we're all going down in flames. I am irritated at our government for not directing funds towards education so that we don't have to ask for more money from taxpayers. It is in no way an ideal system. I get that. But at the same time, the last thing I want to do is punish our children and future generations because of that.
If this levy doesn't pass, yes, I will lose my job. But I honestly have to say, deep down, that is not why I believe in passing this levy. I believe in passing it because I want to send a message to our children that we care about them and want a bright future. I think HOPE is a good thing to have. Without this levy, I know I personally will have lost some.
