Hattie explained that her husband had once dreamed of turning the farm into a small community gardening and agricultural learning center. She was getting older and needed help managing the property. She asked whether I would consider working there regularly and helping her bring that dream back to life.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She wasn’t offering charity; she was offering responsibility. I discussed the opportunity with my school counselor, who helped me arrange a schedule that accommodated my education and recovery. For the first time, I had something to look forward to that didn’t involve earning my parents’ approval.
