Lateedah
I have one week left of work, hopefully. I may have to work a few extra days, but at least the kids will be back in school. What can I say? It has been a good experience, but it makes me question a lot of things about myself. The main one being whether I have enough patience and drive to work with children for the rest of my life. There have been times where I have gotten so angry and frustrated that I just wanted to choke someone, but there have also been times where I have laughed so hard or felt like crying because of a child's bad situation. I just feel bad for being so frustrated with the behavior of some of these kids. I should be more understanding, but I am still learning. I also need to yell less! But, boy have I had some interesting stories and experiences from this summer. When nearly 100 kids are in one place, crazy things are bound to happen.
Well, enough of that. I'm ready to do what I want that last few weeks of summer. I'm excited about school, though I'm nervous about cross country...ahhh! I'm still running and trying to eat healthier...but I'm not any faster and not a whole lot more fit looking. Oh well, I just have to try my best. This past week has been good though. I've gotten to do a lot of fun stuff. Zak and I went bowling with some of my friends on Wednesday. Oh yeah, at B&G club I got to go to the aquarium and pool...fun. Then on Friday, Zak and I went to see a movie...it was a really good independent film about wheelchair rugby- it is called Murderball. I know it sounds weird, but it actually was good. Then yesterday I got to go to a BBQ with my youth group and then a late night walmart run with Zak. I know..I'm boring, but those things are fun to me. But I've also been worried about our friend Emily Normal. Her treatment has been a lot harder on her than she anticipated. Hopefully she will be coming home soon- but everyone be sure to keep her in your thoughts. She also doesn't want anyone to worry, but we'll do it anyway!
