yo, it's cate.

Dear Cate;

Remember that opportunities of growth will present themselves.  Realize that your purpose is to love and support the girls you work with.  A promotion that includes a house, an exempt position… all convenient.  Life isn’t supposed to be that way.  You work with girls who beg and plead, question and doubt, argue and fight on a daily basis.  They lack adults they can confide in because adults don’t allow those girls to confide in them.  Little by little, you see progress and sometimes it seems unbelievably slow and/or meaningless.  Every encounter with your girls should make an impact, big or small.  Every wave, every high five, every greeting, every hug - do it with a smile and an unceasing amount of love.  Every day is a new chapter, a fresh fight and events can take a turn for the worst.  Persevere and advocate for those girls.  Remain strong and don’t surrender to the impossible.

Love,
Me
