It always helps to actually read the article.
“Before you encourage someone to practice “self care†in its current definition, think about in what situations this is actually useful or feasible advice — this extends to life at Haverford as well; since I work three campus jobs, I only have enough time on many days to go to class, go to work, and do my homework. I’m grateful to have worked at McDonald’s: It taught me how better to handle my anxiety and how to put myself last in the name of efficiency and a common goal. McDonald’s strengthened my character, my work ethic, and expanded my capacity for resilience, valuable lessons which could not be learned in the “safe spaces†of Haverford’s campus.”
Good for this writer. She may have PTSD but she has the strength to overcome the peer pressure to react like a helpless child in the name of political correctness.
She’s learned what it takes to make her way in the world, as we all must.
I did read the article. Many folks on this thread obviously didn’t.
