Today feels like it was mixed up. My brothers got to go out to the farm to work heifers and I was watching 6-7 year olds all day! I have to say that I would have gladly switched places :) Oh well, I do love my current job.
I'm working in a day care this summer. I work with two other "teachers" and we have up to 25 kids in our class any given day. Since we've just started last week, the most we've had is 23, but still, it's a lot! They are crazy but I love all of them. They are all bright spots in my day, so I guess most of my days should be pretty good.
It's really crazy how fast some days go and how slowly others go. Man, I can't even remember what I did this morning because it went to fast! Oh yes, we had a field trip to Falls Park, which is Sioux Fall's Central Park. We had a lot of fun seeing the river and the cool scenery!
So how did a farm girl end up working in a daycare in the city? Well, the summer after my senior year, my grandpa decided that it was time that I worked in the 'real world,' aka working for someone who wasn't family. So, I set out on a job hunt! It wasn't something I enjoyed, but I needed a job. I wanted something that would give me experience in my area of interest: agriculture. Well, I asked around but nothing panned out.
One day I was talking to one of my friend's mom and she mentioned that the place where she taught preschool also had a school-age children's summer care ministry that was looking for one more person for the summer.I wasn't really enthused about 'babysitting' all summer, but I was in for a surprise! I interviewed with them and got the job. I experienced a lot of growth that summer and decided to go back if I was offered the job again. I was, so here I am today
Watching those munchkins may be exhausting, but I'm thankful for the opportunity and everything that I am learning while I am there. Hopefully I'll have a farm story soon!
P.S. My grandpa's horse had a colt last week! Now we just need a name!
