When I think about one thing that I am passionate about immediately I just think of the love I have for helping other people. It is strange I have always had this motherly feeling like I need to take care of people. Currently, I work at an early childhood development center which is completely unrelated to my major.
I love kids because they have such a positive outlook on life. They aren’t angry at the world, they don’t complain about life, and mostly they aren’t prejudice towards others. They have this unique love for everyone. As a teacher I can correct their behavior and they can become upset with me and then two minutes later they have forgotten and moved on. Children are so helpless but I have the privilege of helping them through that development where they learn to help themselves. I have worked at this center for over a year and I have worked with all ages of kids. It is amazing to see how much the kids grow not just physically but mentally in such a short period of time. It really makes me realize how the mind and body are such amazing things.
In my time there I have learned that I personally love working with kids that are a little more difficult and have behavioral problems. My mom gave me some really good advice once about children she said, “They just want someone to listen to them and their little voices and little thoughts.” I have realized that she was completely correct most of the time kids just want you to listen to them. As adults we are in such a fast pace environment that we don’t always take time out to listen to one another. So that is something I have learned to just pause and take time to listen.
