Blogging is hard. I want to say something meaningful and worth reading everyday, but my life just doesn't lead to that kind of excitement on a daily basis. I am enjoying the process, just not the concern I feel over picking a topic. I will hopefully move past this rather quickly.
I subbed all day today. Great sub job! I got to work with SpEd kids, at a great school, with really good people. These are days I value. I especially enjoyed the kids today. One student I worked with today has Autism. The more I am around students with Autism and the more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become with it. These kids are amazing little people and once you gain their trust their world is yours. I knew I had her when she ran over and gave me a hug. I had been with another student and hadn't seen her for about a half and hour. When she saw me her eyes lit up, she is a girl of few words, and she came over and gave me a hug. It was awesome!!
Today I am thankful for unprovoked hugs. Whether they are from my own two boys or the kids at school, there is nothing better.
I love moments like these. This is why I want to be a teacher. I remember at the end of one of my field studies I wrote down all the incredible moments I had teaching. I am thankful for each of those moments. They are so special. It sounds like you had a great day.
