Had to share...

Running the risk of sounding too mushy, I have to say that working with kids may be a headache but it is rewarding for the soul. Today I had the chance to help the 2nd graders with their homework, and one of the kids I worked with was being difficult... I had to show him that homework (it was a writing assignment) is fun! haha. But at the end of the hour, he was smiling... he gave me some high fives and told me that my earrings and boots looked nice on me (holler)... anyjuey, it was satisfying because I know tomorrow that child will walk into his classroom with finished homework that is neither sloppy or in cohesive. What made my heart melt was that he told me he wants to be a basketball player when he grows up, I asked why? and he said, "So I can give my mom more money and help her"... 7 years old.

Kids are like a sponge, please be self conscious of the things that you do around them.
