I never would have thought that I would find such joy in the whole working with children field. I was so certain that criminal justice was the only place for me. I just finished my second week at La Petite Academy and there is such a change in me.
I love it. I love the kids, my coworkers the whole situation. Sure the money sucks but that never even plays on my thoughts anymore. I'm actually happy. It is such a great feeling to walk into the building and hear all the kids yelling hi to me or running up to give me a hug. It can certainly be stressful but at the same time so much has been lifted of my shoulders.
I lost 3 pounds this weeks, and though some may think that's nothing, it's a big deal for me. For the longest time I couldn't lose weight because of medications I was put on and stress. If anything I only gained weight. Now suddenly the weight seems to want to come off. Perhaps in time I'll get back to what I use to be and won't get so disgusted with myself.
But that is enough for now. I don't need to go writing a book. I just had to express how happy I am that I seem to finally have found a place in life to start on the right path of taking control of my life and being happy.
