The Gratitude of Working With Children

       

              When my mom told me about a job opportunity as a substitute teacher at a Child Care Center I was at first hesitant to accept working with children.  However, it was the summer before heading off to Wentworth and I needed the money for school, so I accepted.  Little did I know that I would meet some of the greatest people and learn some very valuable lessons there.  I actually went off to school and when I left Wentworth ended up coming back, to where I work today.  And if I'm working there now it can't be all that bad right?

          My mom always joked that she wanted me to accept the job as a form of birth control for me, which I mean in my case didn't make sense, but I knew she was joking.  Little did I know though is that this job really does make me not want a kid anytime soon, seeing all the responsibility involved, it's a lot!  However, through seeing all the work needed to put in, I think that in time I can benefit to become a better dad from it. For example, parents nowadays baby their kids way too much, to the point that the kids can't do everyday things on their own without help.  Also, the kids don't ever get reprimanded for bad behavior because the family feels bad for not spending time with them, and it doesn't help the children at all.

         I've also realized that taking care of kids is very tiring, no matter how much sleep I get, I'm always tired coming home from work.  I admire my co-workers, they've been working with children for nearly 20 years and I don't know how they did it.  Though I enjoy seeing the kids everyday, I couldn't see myself doing this job my whole life, balancing with school has become a chore.  I am grateful however, for what I have been able to do with the kids, and being able to contribute to their education whether it was in a small or a large way.  I'm also grateful for all the things it taught me for when I finally become a father, knowing how to do things the right way so that my children can benefit.

Gettin' my Wale on, that's ambition
Hire me, I'll bring in money, like tuition
My ideas are unmatched, no opposition
You won't get the same, what's repetition?
My status is like your baseball cards, super mint condition
I pull the profit from my hat, but I'm not a magician
We'll be more valuable than some weapon ammunition
These other companies will fall apart under us, decomposition
I bring electricity in the room, like a motivational electrician
