Have you ever seen a sensitive movie about families or children and right behind your eyes, you tear up with joy? Human beings touch my heart, especially in the education field. Still trying to find their way with each encounter, experience, and opportunity to play, children give me an immense feeling of this is life. Right at this moment of their brain growth and body growth, language formation and understanding, and social/emotional learning, children of today are making their way in our world.
My true purpose in life is to see that growth and development and, in my little way, provide a conducive environment, offer encouragement verbally and non-verbally, and through my positive interactions give children the individual support that they need at that moment.
Unexpected interactions of life are so beautiful if you take the time to give 100 percent of your real self to the children, parents, and teachers you work with each day. I hope you see the deeper joy I have with my work, through the tiredness, frustration, and growth. When I am tired, I see that I have really worked a day worth living, and I gain satisfaction with each waking moment.
