I hit that same sort of crossroads recently. I dropped out of college and have been working as an admin for the past few years. I don't think going back to college is the right thing for me personally, so I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I applaud your efforts to get your life on a track you'll love! It's a tough process, but well worth the end result! I totally hear that. I hit that same sort of crossroads recently.

]]> Comment on YA Fiction by Luscious Librarian http://stankerbell.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/ya-fiction/#comment-2 Luscious Librarian Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:48:18 +0000 http://stankerbell.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/ya-fiction/#comment-2 I completely relate to your experience. My husband is 6th grade math teacher and i went to B&N to pick up some books for the younguns to read while in home room. I wanted them to have some interesting lit to read outside of Lord of the Flies that they could relate to. Imagine my dissapointment when I found the 13 year old equivalent of 'Thong on Fire' repeated over and over on the shelves. The reason you probably don't remember reading any Black YA fiction in your day because there wasn't any outside of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. It's really sad how what has been deemed 'Hip Hop Fiction'(publishers are no better than TV Execs with their narrow view of those other than white) has seeped onto YA shelves.
