Encouragement

I had an out patient procedure today and I got to talking to the nurse taking my info. She asked what my occupation was I said, "I'm a computer person, I fix stuff, but really what I do is help people." I told her my mission was to encourage people like the young people I work with who are trying to figure out what to do with their lives. I tell them if you have something in mind, something you love - chase it! The nurse got this far away look in her eye and said, "I wish someone would have told me that. My parents weren't very supportive." I had a feeling it was something other than nursing. Then she said, "It's a wonderful thing you do." And I thought to myself . . . Oh yeah, I'll keep doing it.
