She Is Jobless

She has no job Professes to not care Has taught school for six years I do not care what job I get she says Anything but teaching. I never want to do this again. She was our teacher of the year a year ago I mentioned doing a t-chart, so she can think about her life Put plus and minus at the top, I said. List all the things you love to do and all the things you do not want to do She came back over to my table six times To tell me she has not "found" herself yet. She can think of nothing to write in either column. I cannot help but think she wants to stay jobless
