I should have called transportation when a student ran off my bus to his suposed grandmother's house on the way to school, one morning. I lost my job that I loved as a Special Education Teachers Assistant. Ever since that time I have been depressed, suicidal. I now live in poverty. I have isolated from all my former coworkers and friends. I stopped singing and attending church. I believe God has forgotten about me because no one will give me a state or government job. I can't even get a job as a delivery driver for PTI Transportation or Bite Squad. PTI Transport had set me up to hire me then changed their minds and won't return my phone calls. It's been 5.5 years and I believe I am still being punished for my mistake.

The biggest mistake I made, was NOT pursuing my education. It is so hard to get back into the routine of work and school.

Patience is key
