Joseph Stembridge's blog ::Women Partners at High Power Law Firms
I love the academic world. I love books and I love classrooms, the chalk dust and the bulletin boards. So when it was suggested by my sister-in-law that I take the school secretaries exam, I was somewhat eager to try. That was twenty-seven years ago and I have been working as a school secretary since that time. The fact that I would be paid for a long summer vacation, a spring break and Christmas vacation were all factors that were very appealing to me especially since I was a single parent of a school age child at that time. It was a decent enough job for me but the money was never enough. My friends were working for law firms, IBM and big hospitals and they were moving ahead in their careers and making a lot more money that I would ever make. They urged me to apply for a better paying job and specifically to try IBM. I stayed with the Board of Education and enjoyed the ups and down of working in a school with inner city teenagers. Many years later, a friend called me to let me know that she had been excessed by IBM and was looking for a job and was interested in working for the Board of Education. I realize now, in looking back at the whole experience, that it's been a good ride. I have had many laughs, many moments of joy, some frustration, anger and some sorrow. In September and October, hearing the Beginning Band as I pass the music rooms can be painful on the ears. In April and May, as they practice for the end of year concert, the same band sounds almost professional. Teenagers tend to answer to the point. On a form to be filled out after an accident, one student answered to "Name of Injured", My left knee. A witness statement written by a student who had been in the vicinity where a fight occurred simply said "I didn't see nothing." Language barriers are often comical. I asked a student recently, "Where do you come from?" He answered, "I'm going to Mexico." When I asked the adult accompanying him, "Are you his mother?" she replied, "No, I'm his uncle." When I asked a student once where he got his pen that was curved and twisted, he said his gynecologist gave it to him. There have also been sad and tragic days. A student came into the office one day screaming, "I'm going to die." His scalp was cut from his left ear over to his right ear. Another student had used a razor to do the ghastly deed. Many teenagers become depressed and attempt suicide. Teenagers get killed in car accidents, hit and runs, and sometimes they are innocent victims of shootings. I love the kids. I now work in a large high school and I am the intake/admissions secretary. Many of the new students are also new in the United States. They have left their countries and sometimes their families and as someone who was once in those shoes, I empathize. I try to be gentle and comforting with them. I have taken possession of them. They are my kids and I expect other staff members will treat them gently as well. |
