Day 68 - July 21, 2010 - Getting Involved

“If you're not actively involved in getting what you want, you don't really want it.” - Peter McWilliams

This week has been very interesting. Every night, after work, I go to VBS and volunteer to be involved somewhere. On Friday, I'll be in a skit for the kids. That should be fun. But really, it has been interesting to come and see who is getting involved as well. Over 70 adults and teens have volunteered to help make VBS a success... I never would have guessed! There were tons of people there to help and spend time with the kids. Some people surprised me; I didn't know they liked kids!

I guess, for me, VBS is another chance to learn and grow towards my goals. I enjoy being around the kids and helping them to learn, but the are helping me too. It seems like every time I get involved and hang around kids I learn more about what it means to be a teacher. It's not going to be easy all of the time, but it will be worth while when I walk into my first class room.
