So I work at a daycare I teach the preschool age children ranging from 3 to 5 years of age. I love them so much because they remind me of when I was a child and I wish I could have enjoyed my childhood as much as I see them enjoy theirs.
So on to the story, you know you will always have that "ONE SPECIAL CHILD" that will just keep you on your toes. Mine is a little four year old girl named Eliana, I have taken care of her ever since she was 13 months old. She has this thing where she likes to call out my mistakes in front of the whole class. Yes I love when she does it because it shows me that she is confident in what she knows and understands. She is HARD on me and she does not like it when I forget to do something in our regular routine.
So my mistake today was that I didn't tell the class the Shape, Letter, Number, and Color of the day "BEFORE" I began the flashcards. How could I forget that??? Through random conversations Eliana has told me that she wants to be a Teacher. On occasions I pay close attention when she is playing and she always plays the teacher and she has her students, Eliana does EVERYTHING that I do when she plays teacher. I mean every single detail even to the point of how I SNEEZE.
I just pray that she does not ever change her mind about wanting to become a teacher and I will do my best to teach her as much as I can so that she may pass it on to her own students one day.
If my opinion counts, I look at Eliana and the job that I can so see her doing is a News Reporter for Channel 7 news! She speaks so well she takes great pictures she would fit that look..

I'M STILL THINKING.......

Okay, So I have NO idea as to what topic I should write about for the final paper. I mean I have thought about it I looked for different situations that could be possible ideas. I guess I still don't have a CLEAR understanding of Rhetoric YET! Yeah I know it is deep into the semester for me not to know, but it takes time for me to really soak in thoughtful information such as Rhetoric. So I will continue my search for my topic and update my Blog...

GROWING UP IN REVERSE

I may be one of the few people to say this and actually mean it, but I HATED my childhood years. People say the most perfect things that they remembered and only wish that they can go back. NOT ME! Growing up I always remembered having to be responsible. I learned too much of what adults were suppose to be responsible for. What I mean exactly, I learned or shall I say I was taught how to worry about Everything. If my mother was cooking and she ran to answer the phone Guess who had to run into the kitchen to make sure the food didn’t burn? I had two younger brothers growing up Guess who was responsible for them as far as bathing and eating and making sure they were safe when we played outside and while at school? My mother was not fluent in the English language so Guess who had to be the official translator when she did not understand what someone was saying to her or if she wanted to tell someone something? I know these examples may seem simple but believe me my list can go on for days if I had the time. I am always told that I do not look my age. Now I find that hard to believe being that my childhood was lived as a Housewife… Not that it’s a bad thing, but not when you are FOUR YEARS OLD! So it was around the time that I turned 18 when I all of the sudden do not look my age. I finally began to live the life that I wanted meaning not having to be responsible for another person and enjoying MYSELF and MY TIME. I started to take vacations at least three times per year. I spoil myself to NO LIMIT. Now that I am a grown adult my parents seem to treat me as a child. They want to do for me as they should have when I was younger. I’m sure they somehow realized the stresses that I grew up with and are trying to make up for it now. I don’t hold anything against their parenting. I just wonder had I grown up the RIGHT way, Would I be the person that I am today?
