So, it has taken me a little while to return to the blogspot. But, now that I'm here, I can recollect on the memories of brightfaced children.
The Morrow library hosted it's annual celebration of America's 'birthday' on June 25th and 26th. Both days were spent teaching children about the history of our nation and letting them do crafts with our nation's most precious colors. Several of the volunteers, including myself, ran around with purpose putting smiles on little faces and gave much of our time to glueing crafts and fastening sequence pieces onto red, white and blue mats. With numbers of children reaching around 75, the serenity of the library was at best a whispering outside voice.
Working with the children has caused me to begin research on a possible major in child psychology. It was most interesting to me how the children seemed to pick up easily on my name and how contagious my own smile was to their visible countenance. One little boy came almost halfway across the library to ask me to help him, by-passing all of the other volunteers and adults. Nothing seems more fulfilling and intriguing making a child's day. In working with the children I have been inspired to research fields of study that will encourage children to become positive adults. This has been a most honorable experience and it is one that I hope to be apart of again in the future.
