dear blogger,
its been awhile since i've really updated you, and unfortunately i don't think now's the time to fully do so either but guess what(!) i got a phone call today saying that i was chosen to work with Extend-a-Family here in Kingston this summer! So of course i tried to contain my excitement over the phone and not sound too silly. But i'm so thankful.

and to top it all off they asked me how i felt about working with the youngest group (age 4-7)! Now you know i love kids, and you may not have known but i had secretly wanted to work with this group moreso than the other ones; however, i didn't say anything because i just wanted an opportunity to work with these people, no matter their age. but someone =) knows me much more than even the workers at EAF, and definitely provided with much more than what i dared to ask for!

anyway, i have one more exam tomorrow so i must get going, but i am definitely excited to work at this camp this summer; i know it'll be a huge challenge, working with children of such young age, of such innocence and beauty and joy, yet held back because of some sort of disability (be it physical, social, behavioural, mental, or multiples of the above). i might have to change diapers, i might see seizures, i might have to learn to communicate through my actions to a deaf and mute child, i might have to feed a child through a tube. i can only hope that the care and love i show to them will not be of my own.

i know i won't always muster up myself the patience, the kindness, the energy, the enthusiasm, the humility, but i know that i'm not in this myself.

& i can't wait to go home in 2 weeks!

until next time, blogger,
-feef.
