CALL ME SNAKE

I’m not as active in my daughters’ school as I’d like to be but, the fact is, I don’t have time to take on much. At a recent meeting, they asked for a volunteer to run the next meeting. As no one else was stepping up to the plate, I raised my hand. Afterwards I asked a friend, “What exactly did I volunteer for?” I really didn’t appreciate the scope of the responsibilities I’d taken on. “The future of the school lies on your shoulders,” someone else told me. And in some ways, I guess that’s true. If my role had not been broadcast so widely, I’d be looking for a way to back out of it now.
