Week 1 of summer camp came to a close today. I have been on the road now for two weeks, and while I’m settling in to this lifestyle, it’s still a bit lonely. It’s been so long since I’ve been on my own like this, but I’m learning. Today, my kids helped.
This is why I want to teach kids. This morning I was greeted with smiles and hugs, the kids were excited to get in the air. I was feeling rather exhausted after dealing with a week of chaos and tears that came with the job. At the end of the day, though, we had a little show for our friends and parents, and I was reminded why I love working with kids. They always amaze me. They pick up more than I expect, and they are not embarrassed to show their gratitude. At the end of it, I was surprised by a bag of homemade cookies.
Now I get two days to myself. Next week: Project Runway.
