So, I just got home about an hour ago, and I’m gonna be
honest with y’all: I AM STONE TIRED!!!
As y’all may know, today was the day that the Culver City
Children’s Center went on a field trip to the Griffith Park Observatory… and let’s
just say that I was reminded of my hyperactive curiosity and childlike
innocence from when I a wee little one. Talk about having a great time—those kids
were ultra excited! They were running around, acting as if they had never been
at the observatory… well, technically, this was
their first time at the observatory, so I kinda understand why they were running
around the main courtyard, albeit in a circle. They were all inside the
observatory, asking us to take pictures, and they really enjoyed the
observatory show. And my goodness—when they saw the Hollywood sign up close and
personal… well, I joined in with them! I won’t lie—I was a child all over
again. I was like: “Ooh, you guys—the Hollywood sign!” And they were all like: “Wow!”
Of course, my supervisor just looked at me and laughed,
to which I felt compelled to explain my fascination for the Hollywood sign. I
can see it from outside my mom and dad’s backyard, but up at Griffith Park, the
sign looks so grand when I’m that close to it.
Needless to say, those little ones had a great time, so
much so, that they were talking about wanting to go back to observatory “really,
really soon.” And on their behalf, I tried to convince my supervisor for
another field trip back. Once again, she just looked at me and laughed, but she
did promise another field trip elsewhere before the summer session ended in two
weeks.
I tell y’all—if this is what I’ve got to experience when
I become a kindergarten teacher, then I gladly welcome it! As I mentioned
yesterday, everytime I interact with a child, I am that much closer to my
dream. Thus far, I have gained so much knowledge in becoming a kindergarten
teacher, and all that I have learned thus far is further preparing me for the
main prize—my ultimate goal, if you will. Yes, I realize that this is only the
beginning, but consider this: If I am this excited over this one month
assignment, then you can bet your ass that I’m gonna be tickled pink on my
first day of teaching kindergarteners!
In the meantime, though, I need a nice hot bath, a big
delicious dinner, and a great night’s sleep.
Peace Out!
Smooches,
Natasha
