The last two years before I came to St. Cloud State University, I worked for an after school program called Adventures Plus. Being in that program and working for them, I found that children are my passion. I love the look on a child’s face when they learn something new, I love watching children grow and mature. All children need positive role models in their life, they need someone they can look up to and learn from. Now days, with the hours that parents work vs. the time they spend with their children, a lot of children get the short end of the stick. I’ve seen it firsthand working for Adventures Plus, parents dropping their children off at 6 am and do not come to pick them up until 6 pm. So those hours not spend with their parents is spent with teachers and teacher assistants. Children need to know that they have adults who care about them. I feel as though God has blessed me with the patience and the motivation to help children and teach them. As I said in my blog above not everyone has the traits to become a teacher. So those of us that are blessed with these traits should not waist them.
