"Listen To Bubby" | Session #2
Another day, another problem, another audio session with Bubby.
Dear Bubby,
Something has been bothering me lately. I have this friend, and lately at school he has started up a student government and now is trying to start up a newspaper. I try to be supportive, but I can't help but to resent it a bit. He and I are both smart, but he acts so arrogant. He is also materialistic, and changes the way he is to fit in. He is still my friend and I'd like to feel proud of him, but right now I am a little mad.
During a meeting of the Debate team, the coach said to him, "I am really going to use you this year, you are so dedicated." I could not stand it, I almost broke out in tears. He used to go to to meeting last year, but then he stopped, and did not start back up until the season was almost over. I went to almost every tournament, while he only went to two, plus I always stay after school.
It bothers me because he is he does things just to get the glory, while I do things because they matter to me. He gets the glory, and I feel bad about myself.
Should I tell my speech coach how I feel, or ignore it?
From,
No Glory, No Problem?
Dear No Glory, No Problem,
Listen to Bubby's advice to you as an wmv file (windows media player) or mp3 file.
This was recorded just for you! ♥, BUBBY
