I believe some of you may have heard something about this, but for those of you who don’t I’ll bring you up to speed. When Larry went over my Taylor-Johnson thing he said that there were some concerns that came up. He told me that looking at just the paper he wouldn’t recommend me going in Sept. He suggested me meeting with a counselor over the summer.
A lot of the thing that the assessment brought up are pretty directly related to some of the things that have happened while I’ve been here at New Horizon’s. Tim our CEO says a lot that staff grow more than the kids, and that’s true. Without throwing too many rocks the illistration I have used has been that I have felt like the little brother who’s big brother has taken him out to the fireant hill, showed him how to stir up the ant hill, hand him the stick and take off running.
Anyway, Larry gave me one of the reports from the Taylor-Johnson. I have showed it to one of the counselors who I know pretty well here who was willing to go over it with me in a little more detail. I am meeting with him tomorrow. I wanted to ask y’all to pray for me about this. I’m kinda like some of our kids sometimes and don’t really like counseling. I’m really not angry at New Horizon’s and would even be willing to come back after the race. But, I really see where somethings need to change. I want to be respectful to them and not lash out, but also would like for them to have willing ears to at least hear what I see happening with the staff here. Sometimes I get the impression that they don’t particullarly care what the frontline staff have to say about what is happening.
Thanks!
