On Friday, one of our students was expressing some frustrations with family issues during our drive home. Stacy and I let him vent and talked with him a while, offering him some options for dealing with the situation. All told, it was probably the best I've felt all summer about my job - I really felt we were getting through and helping this kid with an issue.
His mom called and told us not to bother picking him up yesterday. He's in deep trouble and on the run. Sometimes you can't help feeling your effort was wasted... at least in terms of AIM's stated mission, which is to prevent recidivism.
