<p>superkt,</p>
<p>I think that you are an intelligent, ambitious, and compassionate person with much to contribute. I am sorry that I overreacted but I was really worried. I thought about my own past and what if one of my kids were in such a situation; what would I do? I tend to tackle problems head-on and go right for the core. In retrospect I realize that my direct approach in this case was too direct since you clarified that your depression isn’t an issue and is very mild. And people with depression are not crazy; many, many people have depression and it is not something to be ashamed of. So please forgive me.</p>
<p>Great to hear that you have found a new group of friends and are feeling better now. I am also happy that you plan to stay and give it another shot; you have a lot to offer. I can see you volunteering with the various children’s groups and schools at BC and making a difference in their lives. I also do a lot of volunteering with special needs children and young adults and know how valuable and needed such workers are.</p>
<p>I steer clear of stereotyping because I personally don’t see any point to it. I don’t like it when people stereotype me and honestly, it doesn’t make sense to lump people together in groups; people are individuals not categories. Each person is different.</p>
<p>Anyway, so happy things are looking up and my heartfelt apologies for overstepping.</p>
