Grateful for My Job

Right now, I work at a daycare run by my best friend's mom. The kids who go to the daycare range in age from newborn to five years old. I work there three days a week while I go to school the other two days of the week. Working there has been such a big joy in life, even though I have only had one job before this one, this is a job I truly enjoy. Every day the kids shows me something new every day, I am forever grateful for these kids and this job. 

The kids at the daycare make my day brighter even if I am having a horrible day. The kids can make anyone smile, they are the sweetest and funniest kids I have ever met. They are very outgoing and rambunctious, they are always doing something they shouldn't be or climbing on something they know they can't. Their favorite games to play with me are hide and seek(even though they hide in plain view), ring around the rosie, and pretending to be chefs. They are always so loud; yelling or crying all the time for absolutely no reason. I wouldn't have it any other way though.

The kids at the daycare have taught me so much, I will forever be grateful for reminding me what is important. They have showed me to be in the moment and enjoy the people around you and what is happening at that specific time. As adults, we often take things for granted but kids care about the little things in life. They show me how to be silly and act like a little kid and make me forget about the stresses of being an adult. They show me not to take everything in life so seriously and just to take it day by day. Children have so much to give and teach others, I will forever be grateful for these kids in my life.

    Caroline,

    Nice post. It is well-written and well designed. I like the images that you chose to emphasize your post's theme and vibe.

    Sounds like this is an enriching experience as you plug away at school. Most people do not have the patience to work with so many kids, but it seems like you have the unique fit for it. Sounds like these kids are grateful to have you too.

    This is a great side gig. I hope that you continue to be happy there and that it affords you the proper time to focus on school.

    Great post.

What Will the Future Hold?

                                               During my lifetime, I hope to accomplish many things. These include graduating and getting my bachelor's degree and also going to school after that to receive my DVM which stands for Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Many of my other goals include traveling, even though I want to try to go to every country, I have especially always wanted to backpack across Europe to every single country in it. During my life, I hope to get married, buy a home and eventually have a couple children. I have a big family so nothing would make me happier than having a couple of my own, I have always wanted three or four kids. I also hope to one day open up my own animal hospital and start an animal charity since there are so many animals that could use a home or help animal s...

To All the Strengths and Weaknesses Who Made Me the Person I am Today

Image
My entire life I have always been a very compassionate and understanding individual. I have always been a person that people can rely on to go to about their problems and give my honest opinion. When my best friend Brianna came to me to talk about her relationship problems she knew she came to the right person. Her boyfriend at the time Sean was getting involved in drugs and alcohol and she did not know what to do, she had been dealing her feelings pulling her in many different directions. Brianna didn't know whether she should stay and help him with his substance abuse or leave, no matter how much she loved him she just didn't know what to do anymore. At first I felt upset that Brianna was in a situation where she felt like she had to stay or else he would cause harm to himself. After hearing her talk more about his situation I told her she shouldn't stay in a toxic relationship because she's scared of what would happen to Sean, her happiness should be the deciding f...

Unknown Future

In 10 years I will finally be a veterinarian, I will be helping all kinds of animals ranging from dogs to hamsters to turtles. This job will make me happier than I thought and will fulfill me in ways I never knew it would.  I will have my own animal hospital since I have always wanted to be my own boss. I will do a lot of pro-bono cases for individuals who can't afford to get their pet what they need whether its surgery or just vaccines. I will live right outside of Boston, perhaps in Winchester or Lexington with my husband and our 5 dogs. We don't have kids yet since we have spent most of our time travelling the world, our favorite place being Europe. Two years after we finish travelling we will have kids, two twin boys and a girl who are our pride and joy.  Me and my husband will have saved enough money to buy a vacation house, perhaps in the White Mountains or maybe somewhere tropical like Bermuda. Most importantly, we will be happy.  As I'm hea...
