Teaching

I honestly love children, and I love being around them. Any opportunities that get me to be around them, I'd take it in a second. I love how they make me so happy, and how they all have different personalities. Not only do they keep me young, but they also let me view life on a different perspective. So I took on a volunteer job as a teacher at my local church. I taught there for about 3 years, and I truly could not have been happier with it. My students ranged from ages 6-8, and at those ages, they really do have amazing opinions as well as silly personalities. I looked forward to every week coming into the classroom, just to await for hugs from every one of them. Each hug warmed my heart and after every hug I received, nothing mattered for the rest of the day to me. I loved their silly jokes, and the goofy things they did. For instance, they made a song for me, and everytime they sang it to me, I'd laugh hysterically. As of now, I currently don't teach anymore. I really do miss it a lot, and I miss all of my students. Although I see them regularly in church, but I don't have that one to one connection to them anymore. That is why I took on the role of volunteering at the children's hospital. =)
