A Days Work In The Community

Today a few of the children at the school I work at went to work at the local grocery store. They enjoyed baging gorceries, stocking the shelves and doing go backs. I must say that this task was a little difficult. It was hard to keep them focus with so many customers in the store not to mention all the food. While some of them did better then others I soon realize that for my teenage students the grocery store wasn't going to be a good work place for them. This made me a little disappointed do to the fact that within the school we used vocational tools to prepare them for working at the grocery store but never discouraged. I soon realize that everyone's great at something and sometimes failures are put in front of you to make improvements. I began to go back to my personal drawing board and find other jobs that would work best for my children to my surprise I receive a call that would brighten up my day. We will soon be trying our local Tj Maxx I'm more excited then ever and can't wait to tell you all about our up coming experience.     P.S.   I was annoyed by a customer who seem to be uncomfortable with one of my students baging their gorceries. I do understand that everyone has their rights and opinions but because they have a disability does not mean they have a disease. I so wanted to scream please educate this people because even though these children as well as adults are disable their human so let's not forget that and if your fortunate not to have a cousin, mother, father, brother, sister etc then consider yourself bless but don't consider them less then a human.
