I'm Back!

I thought this would be a good way for me to look back at where I was three years ago and feel a sense of accomplishment for where I am now. I have mixed emotions about it. I thought it would be amazing to be one of those people who "float", they live for the here and now, they travel, learn new things all the time, meet exotic people, etc. As it turns out I don't even think I could be one of those people. It freaks me out, not having a plan, a routine, living somewhat in a bubble. So, three years later, I am back in a bubble, much like the one I left. The difference today is that I have a career.
To the people that I talked to almost everyday my job sounds like whining kids, milk spills, pee accidents, putting up scribble masterpieces, but in the bigger sense, I love my job. It's about connections; watching them find connections, them connecting with you, you to them, all of us to the world. Sometimes, I just stop and think about these children becoming the future, and it makes me proud. It sounds totally corny, but it's why I am doing it.
