Something I Heard

I was talking to this 10th grader about college (she didn't want to go) and the conversation soon turned away from that topic and into our life stories. She said something that struck a cord with me. I notice that she is a very outspoken, happy individual and she told me that that's because "she feels like she has to be happy for every person that she knows who is sad." That a huge burden. But I guess not to her.
