To make this article make more sense, I will provide a back story to all of the readers. I am a swim teacher, and I teach children between the ages of 2-to-10 years old. Before getting this job, I did not like kids very much. I know, it sounds silly to get a job that deals with children when you do not like them. However, I have been a swimmer for many years and I was interested in getting children to love swimming the way that I do. Once I started my job, I also realized that I love teaching children how to be safe in the water and I also love building a bond with all of my students. Here are a few reasons in particular as to why I love working with children.

Overall, working with children can be tough, but very rewarding. Yes, you will struggle at times but it will be worth it at the end. Children are the future, and it is up to us to guide them and teach them as they grow.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
