Well I’ve been meaning to update this blog for a while. I got rid of my facebook account last week and a blog is the next best thing I think.
I’m currently a teacher’s aid in toddler’s class room at a preschool \ daycare. I really like this job, its one of the best (if not the best) job I’ve ever had. When I come into work I get a least one or two kids yell at the top of their little lungs BEN!!! And then they come give me a hug. It just makes my day :) OOO and then the next best thing about my job is nap time. You may think yeah nap time is good because the kids go to sleep, but that’s not why I like it so much. I’ve learned that each kid like you to do something like pat their back or just hold their hand as they fall asleep. I love knowing what each kid needs or finding out that they want \ need for that day and then just giving them all the love I can muster.
This past week I got a second job at a company called RISE. I will be working with kids who are in Foster Care that have mental health problems. I will get to take them to their after school programs as well as be like a Big Brother to them. I will get to take the kids to different activities that they choose on the weekends and some during the week. I think this will be a fun and new opportunity to grow and just show people what I’m made of. I also hope that it will be something that my sister Ana will be able to talk about, she is a recreational therapist. Many of you know I’m planning on getting my Masters in Social Work and then get my LCSW (License Clinical Social Worker) and I know this new job with help me add more experience in this field.
A blessing for today
I was able to cook dinner today. I know this is small and some of you may think how is cooking dinner a blessing? It was a blessing for me today because it was sort of relaxing. It was just nice to serve my mom who takes care of me each day. I am truly thankful for her she has suffered and sacrificed a lot for me to have the life I enjoy now.
