good morning world. im feeling motivated and excited and inspired. all because of a 3rd grade boy who needs a little help with his reading. Every Wednesday I go to LUCHA (the elementary school I am in charge of coordinating volunteers for) and work with Sergio. He is a fantastic kiddo who is sweet as can be and forever makes me laugh. Today he was rockin his reading, laughing at the goofy movies givin me a little sass, and giggling like usual. He starts out my day on such a perfect note. He works hard and has fun and totally loves the one on one time.
He reminds me of Young RYLA, of giving awesome kids what they deserve, and being a little bit extra when life is just a pain in the rear sometimes.
If there is anything in life I know, I know that I love working with kids, and somehow that will fit into my life.
I talked to the Urban Education director yesterday and am excited for a minor that gives me more than just a desire to work with kids, but something actually concrete. Cause I love it. I love the fresh outlook and the giggles and the "are we done yet" and the sass. I love when they get to know me and feel comfortable enough to give me a hard time and to joke with me but also understand that Im there to help them. And I love that I get to do this once a week and that I'll be at Young RYLA again watching the magic happen.
And I love the way they make me want to do more and be better and inspire me and remind me how wonderful life is.
Im feeling super into LUCHA and wanting to do more, and overflowing with ideas of what we can do. And thats just how I like it :)
Happy hump day! Go find some kiddos to hang out with or go watch this video
