I am proud to wear the title of "neighborhood activist". I wasn't hired, I was self-appointed to the job. I can promote myself anytime I want. I can change my job description and absorb any new function I feel like taking on. I can also refuse to do anything I don't want to do in this capacity. This is a rewarding job and even though there's no paycheck for it, I don't have to pay taxes to be one. I get to meet a lot of great people in this job. I have gathered stories you can tell your grandkids. I even ended up with a kid from doing this work.
No one can silence me, and I can't be fired. I can also retire any time I want to. I suggest everyone try it at least once in their lifetime. The world will be a better place for it.
