Try harder?

One of the hardest parts of being here is feeling like if you just tried harder, maybe you'd be able to change it, maybe it's your attitude. Maybe its all your fault. And the truth is, the system is broken, and we are not in a financial or managerial position to change it. It will be a long time before we will be, and so you have to except that if it makes you unhappy, it's ok. If you don't make a single difference and for the most part spend hours simply standing to the side, that's ok. And if you decide you can't handle it, because you can't work for such a defunct system, that's ok too. This goes out to all the volunteers who know they're not making a difference, but know that it's ok because some day, you will, and because you though you could. You can, just not right now. And it's ok that you're unhappy. It'll all be ok. You're already trying your damdest, and that's all anyone can ask for.
