This week was my last full week, and very interesting to say the least. Mrs. was out sick a few days, and I had to explain and show the subs how a lot of it works. The kids were surprisingly well behaved and very impressive. I got an email asking that i make sure all the papers are graded and filed, and that i still sent the kids out with their Friday folders for their parents. I felt very nice that she trusts me with the grading and with a responsibility like that. It put pressure on me, but i got it all done and i think very well. Also, a few of the students asked me to write notes to their parents reminding them of a fundraiser that was due on Monday, i had very big responsibility this week and it felt awesome!!! As for my letter of recommendation, she said very nice things. The one that really gave me the most confidence and really touched my heart, was when she said i stay later than my required time just to finish an assignment with the children, because i really truly do care. Her letter was so meaningful, and nice it truly made me want to do it even more.
This week I helped the kids with math to start. They all have little packets and with each number 1-10. For example, on number five, they have to draw 5 things such as stars, hearts, smiley faces, then they draw 5 tally's, next there are two boxes, one says +1, one says -1, so it'd be 6 & 4. Then they have to trace the number, and word. Alot of the kids needed my help, which i didn't mind, i actually really enjoy teaching them and they are so sweet it usually ends with "thanks your the best teacher ever" and it just feels nice. I surprisingly agree with James on the trophies situation, we can't keep raising these kids to be babies kind of situation. If you don't win, its not the end of the world its just more fuel to keep trying harder and really pursuing what you want. Just because you tried, doesn't mean it was good enough and we all know that. This world today is really cradling their kids and making them believe that they deserve trophies and prizes just for trying, which i don't understand, because its not the point of a trophie. The point is you don't always win, and you have to accept that, its life, we cant raise cry babies or they truly will never make it in the real world. Tough love is the best kind.
This week was pretty much like any other week, helping with the kids and preparing projects for the teacher. On Thursday, i got to take them to the library all by myself, i was kind of nervous because they have to be quiet in the hallways and you have to watch and make sure they are all doing what their suppose to be doing. I've never seen anything go more excellent!!! i was so proud and happy. I told them all to get their message and stay quiet. There was absolutely no problem, what so ever. I couldn't believe it. All the children are coming together so nicely with learning procedures, i was so impressed. Now, on another note. The most important trait an employer can have, is honesty. They need to honestly love what their doing and try to help whatever company they are with for the better. I do have this trait, at my job (National Coney Island) yes, its not my forever job, but i thoroughly enjoy it and everyone there, and I care about my work and performance for the company more than ever.
