Working with kids enables me to see a side of life so many people let go of. Even though parents have kids, family members have little siblings, and people often remember what it was like to be a kid... I get to live every day of the week with kids that surround me with a fresh, forgotten angle on life.
There's so much I could write about what they teach ME, but perhaps I'll save that for other blog entry. Bottom line is, the kids I work with often show ME a thing or two in life. They demonstrate an outlook on circumstances... that I tend to forget, at times.
For me, working at a school encourages me to become who I truly am, deep inside. Very few jobs can carry that weight. I watch all my kids at work... the good, the crazy, the hyper, the silly, the studious, and the funny... and I remember what it was like to be a kid, too. Life revolves around certain joys. Cool toys. Laughing. Starting "clubs." Drawing pictures. Watching animated films. (Wait, that sort of sounds like my life NOW - but even still!!!! You get the picture.)
