Day Number Ten: 11th Grade Service Project

My last day at Creative Options was by far my easiest. I spent my time in Rob's class again, and about the same number of kids were in there as last Friday. The day went normally, same little squabbles that apparently happen among kids every day. In Travis's classroom there was a crisis near lunchtime, as a kid threw up right as everyone got their food. Rob and I went over and helped keep the other kids in line. It was pretty funny, the kids were discussing the other kid getting sick as if they were journalists discussing an international event. Recess also went normally, with the kids playing on the equipment and running around like they do everyday. Rob's class also held a cupcake party to say goodbye to him, the most amusing thing about this was the kids lack of understanding that it was not a birthday party they were celebrating. Other than what I mentioned, not much else happened. I am glad that my service project is finally over. I don't think I would have lasted much longer, I think I would have collapsed eventually and slept for a long, long time, which is what I plan to do tonight after dinner. As for the Grad at Grad, I definitely did not do anything for my intellectual competence by hanging around with five-year-olds for two weeks. However, when it comes to being open to growth, I definitely comprehend how hard a day-care teacher's job is, I will definitely never take them for granted again, but if I ever have children and need to put them in a day-care, I will choose the day-care wisely.
