what matters

 

Right now I'm in between classes, sitting here observing and listening to music. 

So my job for the past 6 years has been for Parks and Recreation, working with kids as a leader during the summer playground program. I like kids a lot, and I also teach gymnastics through P&R which I enjoy. So for a long time I have known that nursing is what i want to do with my life, but I was having such a difficult time deciding what field to go into. The other day I was at work; enjoying the overall splendor of little kids running around playing during the Parent-tot class and I couldn't stop smiling. And right at that moment, it hit me like 50 light bulbs: I want to work with kids.. so maybe I'll work in pediatrics and double major in early childhood developmental psychology. I'd like to work in the cancer ward for a children's hospital. I know it will be tough but I realized that that doesn't really matter...

What matters is that I go home from work everyday knowing that I did everything I could to make that child's time less painful and happier while they were still here.
