Back to Daycare Like Old Days
i ve worked at daycares a lot. maybe its something about the kids, about how they’re like we were back in the day. maybe its something to do with how the next generation will be the future. kids dont realize it but they really have all the chances in the world.
i went to PS20 to do community service, a daycare i myself used to go to and work at. that being said it was a very normal experience for me except that i didnt recognize many of the kids anymore cuz its been a while and some of them graduated. i miss kids, somewhat looking forward to being a father but just not anytime soon. working with kids takes a lot of energy out of you, always get so caught up in it but afterwards i always get the weirdest feelings.
it was a lot of fun, didnt learn much new stuff cuz i ve done it before but it was fun. if it werent for this mandatory community service work i dont think i wouldve gone back, it was nice seeing the kids again but i feel like that was such a big part of my life that i m ready to move on to different things.
kids are like crazed cats and dogs. you get the energetic ones that just go nuts if you wave your hands in the air. then you get the quiet strange ones that kinda float around doing the silliest things. some of them are so cute you just wanna squish them between your fingers but some of them make me look back and wonder “was i like that o_o” and then i realzie i would have to say yes usually lol. done some crazy things as a kid and missed my chance to do a lot of other things, but cant be having regrets now. i stand by my childhood as what made me who i am today, i can only hope all the kids i see around nowadays can appreciate that same sentiment and enjoy their youth.

Wow vincent, i didnt know you were thinking about parenthood already 0_0. Maybe get through all these essays and finals for anotheer 3 years before making an attempt 😀 Anyway, i had basically the same experiences with my daycare services, except for the part about squishing kids. Oh well, each to his own. The important thing is that you are helping the community and the next generation.
