I work as an education assistant at a high school, and I mean it wholeheartedly when I say I love my job and everything it entails. From seeing students have their aha moments to providing wisdom on their social conflicts, there’s a special sort of joy I feel. When I get to help a student work through their struggles and grow as a person, I can feel myself growing as well. The teens I work with are the upcoming generation that will continue to shift this world into new directions. My hope is not that they have luck or endless financial success, but that they are happy and content with who they are as people. The world is full of trials and tribulations, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make an impact. Regardless of age or whatever clause people put up, we are all capable of growth in positive directions.
I suspect many of them, if not all of them, will never read this snippet. If one of them chooses to Google my name and stumbles upon this piece, please never bring it up.
Sincerely,
Ms. Spencer
