homework

I never had help with my homework as a kid. In fact I hated having to do it because I'd get shit upon by my father. Now here I am in MN helping a seven year old do her homework cause her dad is in the hospital with his son. I find that I am good at it. I have the patience necessary to help her learn without causing her trauma. It helps me have confidence that maybe I won't kill my own child. Then again everyone says that your own child is different. Here's hoping that there will be no bodies.

But anyway back to the homework thing. I enjoy helping someone who is struggling, learn that not all learning is bad. Some learning is in fact fun, and some learning you do because you enjoy it so much you just can't stop. All some people need is the proper support and encouragement.

I think that is why I'm so psyched about the idea of this Plantmobile job opportunity. The possibility of being able to share my passion for learning with children in a subject that is interesting and engaging. Adults too but I find that adults are much more resistant to accepting passion than children are. Its much more of a fight to get them to open up to new things. I guess after a while the world is no longer new and interesting. They get jaded and cynical about things and passion dies.

I don't think I will ever lose the passion of the world and wonder in learning new things. I don't want to be jaded and cynical. I chose another path for myself.

You're Canada!

People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've
got a much better life than they do.  In fact, they're probably just jealous.
 You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not
dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and
others.  If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be
the perfect person.

too funny. I guess the question about hot or cold is a big deciding factor.
