Description
A volunteer crisis counselor and writing center tutor juxtaposes the
skill sets necessary for each position.
It's 4:30 am. It has been a slow night, and
I am sleeping fitfully on the pullout couch,
tossing and turning underneath a small
fleece blanket. The phone rings. I jump off
the couch and run across the cheap, blue
linoleum to flick on the light, grab a
clipboard, and answer the phone by the
second ring.
