Volunteering

I think I'm starting t come full circle. I've been contemplating volunteering for some time and I think this time I'm going to actually do it. I don't just want to volunteer just for the sake of doing it. What I want to volunteer for I think has scared me for some time but somehow I knew I would eventually end up doing it. I'm volunteering for a children's organization to help abused and neglected and abandoned children. My fear comes from the fact that this is the type of childhood I had.



It's funny, many times throughout my life people would say to me that working with neglected children would be a good thing for me. That given my childhood I would be very qualified to help others. I would give them the most sarcastic face and say "Yea right! That is the last thing I would ever want to do and the last place I would ever want to be!" I wanted to pursue my career, start my family and get as far away from anything like that as I could. Well I've done that. I have a good job and a very wonderful and loving family. One which I am truly grateful for.


I have to complete the application and send it in, which I will probably get done within the next day. It's strange because even though I am nervous, I feel like this is something I want to do.
I don't know if any of you ever felt like this but I've always had this feeling like there's something else I need to do, something that's missing. Maybe going back is part of satisfying that feeling.
