So I have been doing the teaching thing for a minute now and learn everyday that everyone has a different story about life with in their minds. Some have a great life with two parents, brothers and sisters and a dog and a cat! On the other hand some young people are the responsible people in their households. They get up early and get their siblings ready for the day with breakfast and clothes as best they can. Then rush off to school where they have not had time to properly prepare the previous nights home work.
They sometimes sleep in class and often times are not even paying attention when awake. It really seems like they don't know what to do but to follow this normal routine that is set before them. I see them as good kids, just searching for hope.
Even with all this going on, I am amazed at how many youths think that the world revolves around them only! They have to have the latest in fashion, like Ugg boots, name brand shirts and everything that their television idols wear. I honestly don't know how the parents of these kids can afford all these expensive items. Perhaps they are just gifts of remorse due to lack of time spent with the kids.
I enjoy teaching and see the benefits of myself and other positive educators fruits, but I really think that consistently is the key to continued success. I clearly understand that the young people don't know what we know about the future. They have no clue that jobs are hard to find and competition is stiff. We dang near gotta work harder then the kids do to get this point across.
All I know is that I am tired from working alot, but its a good tired-lol! I really want to acknowledged how important tires are to society. I had no ideal of what they/we go through. Wow is all I can say.....
Ward.
