Chicken Soup for the Paraprof’s Soul.
There’s a new book on the market from the people who brought you Chicken Soup for the Crack Addict’s Soul, Chicken Soup for the Ex-Gay’s Soul, Chicken Soup for the Ruthless Business Exec’s Soul, and Chicken Soup for Richard Gere’s Soul.
Everyone hated middle school, but now, there’s a new awkward phase: paraprofessional year. You’re not quite a college student, but not quite staff or faculty. You’ve been relegated from your previous pedestal of academic bliss to office peon. “Have you ordered lunch? Did you transcribe the sounds of my wife and me making love? Can you walk my dog? Oh, and would you mind taking a moment to teach this 400 level math class?” This collection of stories, some tragic, some humorous, reflects the struggles of twenty-somethings as they try to learn and grow while still at college. Sit back, open a bottle of red wine, pull out some tissues, and crack open Chicken Soup for the Paraprof’s Soul.
Excerpts to follow.
