Jerry Sandusky: Found Guilty On 45 Counts

Ask me a question, or leave me a comment. Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of child sex abuse, and could spend the rest of his life in prison according to news accounts. I can't imagine the courage it took Sandusky's survivors to re-live, tell, such painful memories. Emotion welled-up inside of me as news accounts detailed survivors' reactions. It took me back in time, some years ago, to a former job. I was sexually harassed. Unlike the Sandusky survivors who had many supporters, I had my husband, mother and three young children. I was retired early for not participating. Out of the over one-hundred resumes I mailed, one over-qualified reply came back. The victims of Sandusky have people standing by to offer professional services. I was dismissed and didn't get any unemployment compensation. Two or three years ago, I applied for a job at Wal-Mart, and am still awaiting to hear back from them. I applaud the Sandusky survivors.
