Some people just can't believe it's true sometimes, that you may be capable of more than they assume. And then they undermine you and try to put you in your place. My school district wasn't going to pay me for my hours of service at a student conference because they couldn't believe that I actually attended.
And I see it in the secretary's faces when they have to give me messages. It's the look like, "why am I giving you messages?" I can't say it's racism anymore because I'm totally confused as to how I'm suppose to tell that it directly is, and I can't say it's ageism, so what "ism" is it?
And of course, this is the work you love doing the most; you pour your heart into it and get compensated monetarily for only parts of it. And it goes back to always trying to prove your ass to "these" people. And you fill in the blank as to who "these" people are. Because it could be anybody really.
