Working in the childcare field is the reason I am who I am today. I feel so much wiser because I have learned about my self through them. There is more to life than just a job and finances. Living and enjoying plays a huge role and I saw that through the behaviors of children.

A child that touched me!

I used to work with the Okemos public school district here in Michigan. The job I worked was with the English language school where families from many different parts of the country came to America to take classes in learning English. One particular 2 year old I had was from Korea and I instantly fell in love with him and became so attached. He was so smart and well behaved. Geo had a hard time following our daily routine and eventually adapted to it. We did the same thing everyday and could never tell if he was learning. I worked with him one on one and still could not tell if he was learning. Geo's mother would come to me the next day and express her gratitude because she saw that he was learning. My last day at work Geo sang twinkle twinkle little star and said my name and I just cried. Geo was Learning and showed it in his own way and at his own time. He understood a lot of things but finally showed and applied it. Children may not tell you but will definitely show you.
