I love my job.

Yes, it is tiring and loud and requires excessive amounts of patience, but I really do love it. I'm learning how to approach kids without intruding on whatever they are doing which really is an art. I love seeing the looks on their faces when I show them something new they can do with an exhibit and listening to all of the stories they have to tell. It's so neat because I am learning along with them. The museum stimulates my brain so much more than school does. On Thursday night after working, I was motivated to finish my homework and even study for math (which I NEVER do).
Today I met and worked with Jerry who is one of the floor coordinators. He was very kind and told me that I have a natural smile. He was impressed by my interactions with both children and adults which was so nice to hear. He said I'm exactly what they were looking for. It has been slightly daunting because 98% of the people who work there are adults and I usually don't feel comfortable with adults but everyone has been welcoming to me and has been willing to show me the ropes.
I'm just really glad I didn't rush and get some crummy job I would have hated. I can already tell that this experience will help me in becoming a teacher later on.

Yay :) So yes, that was my happy work update.
