7 Reasons To Work With Kids
Job Inspirations

Working with children, also known as tiny humans (grey's fans will understand), is not like any other job. They keep you on your toes at all times. Some days will be harder than others, but that's just how it goes. Some will test your patience and push your buttons, and some will know the right thing to say to make your day! However, not everyone is made to work with children; it definitely takes a special kind of person to work with children.

1. They come out with some of the funniest things

Whether it be a spelling mistake or a speaking mistake. They come out with some of the funniest things that will be sure to brighten your day!

2. They're brutally honest

One time, I had a child come up to me and ask if I was having a boy or girl... I was only 17 and I'm definitely not expecting a kid now, nor was I then!

3. They can tell when something's wrong, and they'll make you feel better

Kids can always tell how you're feeling even if you don't say anything. This is actually a huge part of the job. If you're happy and super excited, chances are they will be too. If you're angry about something they can sense the tension, which will only make your job harder. And if you're upset, they can sense that too, and they definitely give the best hugs!

4. You'll never be bored at work

I have no idea how, but kids are full of energy 24/7! You'll be lucky if you can gert them to sit still and watch a movie! with that being said...

5. It makes it more acceptable as to why you know every word to every Disney movie/song

I am totally not ashamed that I can recite the movie Frozen from start to finish and can sing the entire soundtrack — that along with the Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and probably the rest of the Disney collection!

6. You will build a great immune system

Chances are the first few weeks you start working with children, you will get sick. They come in with just about every illness. But on the bright side, after about a few months or a year, your immune system has never looked better!

7. You'll find out very quickly if you're a kid person or not — if you're not, don't worry the parents come back eventually! Haha

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
