Ramble...?

Sooo, I have nothing to blog about so I am going to ramble about, i don't know, something.

I like talking better than blogging because stuff just comes into my head better when I talk.  But since I HAVE to blog for points, here are some thoughts I had about our discussion this morning:

1.  How do we know what the truth really is if words are just symbolism for the truth?
I mean, what is the truth? Will Anyone really know? Because what you think is the truth, is your perspective of the truth, so there is no absolute truth.

This makes my brain hurt... D: But it's kinda cool. People say honesty is the best policy, but in the end, its really your own perception......

Bucket List

Although I am only 17 years young, I decided to make a bucket list. If you don't know what a bucket list is, it is a list of things you want to do before you die. I just started my list a few months ago so there isn't much, but I decided to share my list and maybe inspire someone else.
  • Go to Ireland
  • Adopt a Boxer
  • Plant a tree and watch it grow
  • Pay it forward
  • Get a cake from Charm City Cakes (ace of cakes)
  • Go on an African safari
Well that is my list and I hope you share yours!

New Job ♥ !

I have a job!!! I am sooo excited. I will now be working with the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA) as an inclusion companion. I will be working one to one with a child with special needs through the park district doing recreational activities.

Working with kids is something that I have wanted to do for a while, but recently  an interest has been sparked for children with special needs. Through service learning at school I have been working with a class of preschoolers with Autism at Ridge Family Centre for Learning. I have grown so attached to these kids and have had the opportunity to see them learn and grow. These kids have inspired me to continue on this path and pursue this as a career.

Thanks to all of those that helped me get this job!
