Sunday Funday

"you can never live a perfect day without doing something for someone who can never repay you"

-- John Wooden.

John Wooden definitely had it right. He's one of the most inspirational men I've ever had the pleasure to read about and his words keep me going in my field.

I got to spend the day laying by the pool, going to mass, and getting all my laundry done...its my only day off each week and I relax as much as possible! Well, the weekend is almost over. I start my job working with Emotionally Disturbed kids tomorrow for the rest of the summer...nervous doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I love kids, don't get me wrong...and I honestly feel like this is my calling. Helping people that can't help themselves and giving them the hope they've spent years looking for or building in themselves. 

My fears and nerves come in failing...I don't know the diagnosis for any of the children except the young lady I will be providing one on one service for. She was only enrolled in our program for a week or so before being hospitalized again. I've been told she's a tough cookie but I'm hoping we will survive the summer together and that I can truly make a difference in her life. 

Soooo, wish me luck!
