I am now the latest volunteer(ed) chair person for the local headstart (preschool) program. The have the chair person, secretary, treasure and there was one other that I can not remember. I was at the monthly parent/teacher meeting for my sons school today and this is how it went.
They have to have all the volunteer positions filled before they can have access to their funds for stuff like field trips and soforth and they still had the treasure and chair person spots open. I am a rather shy person and not a huge people person. I mean I can be a good people person when the need comes up such as when I was working outside the house and stuff but I guess I am just not that outgoing. So I was not real excited about volunteering for any of these. After the teacher brought it up again tonight someone said they would be treasure. Once that spot was filled the teacher talked about the chair person again and I do not know if it was just by chance or not but she was looking right at me while talking. So the person sitting next to me points to me and pipes up "you look like you would be a good person for that!".
What the heck am I supposed to say? Everyone had a good laugh as I accepted. I am not mad or anything. I mean I feel that if you are a SAHD then you should take every effort to be as involved as you can with your child's life. I guess this will be good for me. I know I need to be more outgoing and less shy so maybe it will help.
Just thought I would share.
