today i was kicked by a four year old who is having a rough time at
home......his parents are divorcing...but I am in it for the money.
today i held a three year old to get him to stop crying......he fell down
on the playground, no cuts or bruises, just hurt...but i am only in it
for
the money.
today i watched as fifteen childrens eyes lit up as i walked in to the
room...but i am only in this for the money.
today i taught a child that even though it does get attention, hitting
hurts and there are better ways to make friends...but i am only in this
for
the money.
today i comforted a parent. her son is sick in the hospital, he will be
o.k., but it is very scary...but i am only in this for the money.
today i cashed my biweekly check that will JUST cover food for the family
and the phone bill...but i am only in it for the money.
today i held an abused child who is scared to death to take naps!
see...she
was abused by her father...in her bed at night
BUT REALLY!! I AM IN IT TO SHARE THE LOVE
