While the Public sector may not get all the respect it deserves sometimes, the people behind it really deserve a pat on the back for their work. Well said, Ray.

People don't realize that working in the Public sector is not a well paying job. You have to love it to do it. The way I look at it, I wouldn't have my job if wasn't for the kids. They are the most important resource we have for a better tomorrow. I see a lot of kids that don't get the love or attention at home. They are lonely, they want to be a part of something or they just want to have someone acknowledge them. Anything I can do to make them see they have a future makes it worthwhile.
