Change

For the past 2 weeks, I learned a lot from volunteering with kids. I learned how much we've changed. Remember the age when the word "shit" was a swear word? The age where it was icky to sit on the same table group as the opposite table? Or how $2 was such a big value?

It's so funny how when we want to grow up so quickly at that age, but once we're all grown up, we want to go back to time. Now that I think about it elementary school was my favourite memory. We didn't have to worry about marks, universities, career, our FUTURE. We didn't have so much pressure on us. When I look at the kids, they are filled with joy that you don't see in teenagers or adults. Even the littlest things make them laugh, some things that I find that are kind of lame. I guess we can learn from that. Instead of finding happiness from the internet or tv, we can find happiness within ourselves (:

oh and some of the kids are so ADORABLE!

Gah I'm going to miss them when I leave next week.

I have my favourite. There is this kid that wears Heinz ketchup shirt everyday and he has the cutest voice! He even has a cute name- DEXTER!

And it's cute when they say HI CHRISTIE! in the hallway or recess, or they come to you during recess. (: Kids aren't scared to go up to you to say hi, unlike us. We try to ignore people or if you're like me, I'm shy to go up to old friends and say hi. (:
