Today was a busy day at work. There were about thirty kids in the daycare. Eight of then were infants and they cried for the entire time they were in the daycare. The only thing that would calm them down was to be held. Try holding four crying infants, plus taking care of twenty some-odd children. There were, of course, the kids that would constantly fight with everybody. They spent the remainder of their time, which was aout 15 min., in time-out. I was soglad when it came time to go home. It had been a very tiring day.

The other day I saw mt old English teacher, Mrs. Riley. Mrs. Riley is a very energetic enthusiastic extravert teacher. She encouraged us to think for ourselves and be able to back up what we say. Mrs. Riley could take anything and relate it to what we were learning.She made the class enjoable, and we were learning even when she was telling us a funny story. She was probably one of the most favorite teachers at my school.

For high school, I went to Mount Saint Mary's Academy. An all girl, private, catholic school.The school is run by sisters of mercy and was started by Catherine McCaully. Going to an all girls school turned out to be a positive experience, although during high school there were times I doubted that it was positive. We hd thefreedom to be ourselves and not worry about what others thought. It gave me the confidence I needed to become successful and gave me the strength to stand up for my beliefs and values.

Have you ever agreed to do something, but didn't want to. You only agreed to do it because the people's plans wouldn't get ruined. What I mean is that I agreed to go to my friend, Sarah's house on Thursday. I really don't want to go because well, I just don't feel like driving a far distance late at night and I just don't want to go. If we wee getting together on the weekend, that would be okay. Well Sarah dosen't want the guys to come over without me there because it would be awkward for her. The guys said the same thing. So being the nice person that I am, I am going to Sarah's on Thursday so everybody else's plans don't get disrupted.


I work at the Little Rock Athletic Club in the daycare and the people I work with love to gossip. After our boss leaves in the afternoons,the older women talk about what she is doing wrong and how they could do a better job. They also talk about coworkers, no telling what they sa about me, and the kids and their parents. There is one lady wo is a huge pin in the butt. All she does is point out what we do wrong, tell us how to do things her way, which is so much better than anyone else's, while she sits on her big behind. She also likes to yell at people, especially younger coworkers. I haven't had to work with her since the time he mad me cry.


The kids that come into the daycare are so adorable, well most of them. One little boy, Matthew, is three and loves to ask questions, which at times can be annoying, but he is one of the sweetest kids at the daycare. Saige, a one and a half year old little girl, loves to give hugs. If I am having a bad day, a hug from her always brightens my day. Hunter, a four year old, treis mt patience. He spends alot of his time in the time-out chair. His little brothe, Trent, is the cutest baby. He used to cry all the time, and the only way we could get him quiet was to hold him the entire time he was in the daycare. Luckily he is growing out of that. Maggie,4, and Allie Grace,3, are blond, blue eyed sisters who are so precious and the funniest kids. They love to entertain and they are so good at it. Every time they come into the daycare, I laugh the whole time they are in there. These kids are some of the many that make my job enjoyable and fun.
