Well today was the first day of
week two, I am working with five different groups as well as two others that I
enjoy working with. It’s a lot of work, and the groups I’m working with are
different than last week’s. I definitely grew fond of the groups last week, and
it was a bit of a shock being with new kids who didn’t share the same
mannerisms or enthusiasm. Either way, I knew I had to come into the new
situation with lots of energy and enthusiasm or else I would be setting the
tone for a crappy week. It’s crazy how many of these kids take your energy and
mirror it back, and I think that that’s true in most situations, not just with
kids. Taking the time to smile, compliment, or just be peppy can really go a
long way towards changing your situation, even if you have little direct
control over it. I knew that I
could control my actions and my words, which were more than enough to change
the situation from an unsure one into a positively awesome place to be.
