Too Young?

People in today's world look at me and see that I am only 23 years old. To them, I should be "living the life"...aka going out at night and waking up the next morning not remembering what you did.

To me...that is just stupid.

To me, I AM "living the life." I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful house, and a precious baby on the way. What could be better?

Still, I am faced with people who look at my age as an indicator of how I am going to perform or behave.

Yes, I understand that the number 23 does sound very young to some people and that might scare them, but why? Why am I constantly finding myself trying to prove people wrong? Why am I constantly reassuring people that even though I am young, I am the best one for the job?

Then I tell myself that it is an honor when people look at my age, but allow me the opportunity to make an impression.

I guess I am just feeling this way right now, because next year I will be the team leader for 6^th When, I went in to talk to my principal and DI about some things for next year, he made the comment that he is a little concerned that people on my team will not be pleased with working under someone that is younger. He did say that he is confident that I will be able to handle all the responsibilities, but at the same time he wanted me to keep in mind that certain people are not going to be happy about taking orders from me.

Which I guess I can understand, but at the same time, why should that be a problem? grade reading.

I guess this is just an issue in which I will have to continue dealing with. Maybe by the time I am 30 this “problem” will be resolved. :)
