Being in the Recreation Department, you end up in a lot of places and situations you never even pictured yourself in, and that's half the fun of it! I have most recently been put into the 3-5 year old program we have in my city, a big change from the 6th-9th graders I have previously been working with. I have quickly become so in love and invested in this program, in more ways than I expected!
I applaud anyone who works in this field, you guys are awesome! I have been wanting to get into education for quite some time now and even switched my major over to it, and somehow I think me being put here was a sign for me. It's a perfect way to get some practice and feel the water for what education is like. I have a new respect for teachers. Planning, implementing, communicating, organizing, and cleaning are hard and tiring work, but it really is worth it for those kids. We have had to do a complete flip and breathe new life into this program, luckily I have an awesome partner who has tons of experience in this field to be here through it along the way so we can really get this program going.
My new bed time has become so early, I'm usually exhausted by 8pm. I'm up early and always thinking of new ideas. It has really been a life style change. Curious to see how much we can get done with our program and how we can add new ideas. It's been an exciting month, and tiring, but once a program essentially falls into your hands, it's best to do all you can to improve and make it a positive experience. One day I'll have to show you all a picture of these little humans who have stolen my heart.
Have an awesome Thursday everyone!
