New Day

I absolutely love my placement at New Day Art, but some of the kids have been trying to test me. It is really frustrating, because I trust them to tell me the truth about rules there, about the amount of homework they have, or the correct names of the other children in the program. It is really hard when they tell me false information, because I am still trying to learn everything about New Day. Thankfully, it is only a few kids who do this, but still it is annoying. I spoke to my boss about it, and she said she noticed the same thing, but I am handling it well. It was nice to hear some encouragement. I told her that I won't let it break me, and she said "That's the spirit!" It is teaching me to persevere. :]

Jen-- you're doing great! By sticking to it you are proving to them that you care about them and you're not going anywhere and that's exactly what kids need!

Great job!
