The Different Types Of Children You Work With
dreamatico

Most young women that I know aspire to become an elementary school teacher. That was once my dream, too. Once upon a time when I began college I found a job that allowed me to work with children. Under the circumstances that I still work here and do not want to expose anybody I will not name the establish. Just know that the people I work with are awesome and most of the kids are as well... but there are times where we all want to rip our hair out and I'm sure everyone who has ever worked in childcare will relate.

1. The Clinger

Everyone has that child that grows fond to you. Then you quickly realize that their death grip around your arm is impossible to pry off.

2. The Little Nasty

When we finally think we have found a well behaved child that actually minds it blows us away. Then one day you find them picking their nose. Gross right? Your hatred will grow when you are moving tables and find their little green hiding spot with your innocent fingers. It will never be untouched.

3. The Cry Baby

There is always that one little kid that cannot even be looked at without crying. At first you're concerned and eventually you become immune to the sound of their loud unfiltered whines.

4. The Boo Boo

The boo boo is a kid that literally gets hurt every hour. The kid that sucks the band-aid supply clean and that makes your hand cramp from accident reports.

5. The What Time Is It?

This is the kid that would yell, "Are we there yet?" on a 20 hour car ride every five minutes, except there are clocks all around.

6. The Little Devil

We all know a kid that thinks they do no wrong. They are the ones that Netflix will one day make a documentary about. You know the kind where they are framed for murder but they swear they didn't even do it?

7. The Privileged

This kid thinks they can do whatever, whenever they want. Start a food fight? Knock the trash over? Burn the place down? Well it's not like they ever get in trouble.

8. The Sass Master

Now this is one kind of kid I can barely stand. My sass levels are through the roof and I have to leave all that sass behind me when I walk in the doors. This is the kid that I would sass the life out of if it meant not getting fired.


At the end of the day there are great stories to tell and kids that love your presence. They look forward to seeing us and we kind of look forward to seeing them.

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.
