My Favorite Times

Everyday that I get to go to work I leave feeling purposeful. I think of all the time and effort that it took for me to finish my Master's Degree and it's now worth every bit of it. I find myself the happiest when I am at East Junior High in the self contained classroom with my severe needs students. These children are titled by society as "disabled", but are they really? I watch them exist in their own little worlds where things like anger, deceit, jealousy, contention, hate, disgust, misery, rejection, and insecurities don't exist. So when we look around us at the world that we live in I am so grateful to have these little souls in my life. These kids truly represent hope, relief, amazement, elation, love, optimism, and contentment!
