Worked last week!!

I actually worked 3 days last week as a Special Ed aid!! I really enjoyed it too. The kids were cute (for the most part) but they aren't always. I swear they have invented new rules for reading and math (new terms) that I am not familiar with. It was hard too--more walking than I anticipated, standing too. I got out the crutches. Luckily they did not bother my shoulders the way I was afraid they would. I also tolerated the walking and standing alot more than I anticipated. Thank God I kept up with my exercises. All in all I had a good week, although there was some sadness I didn't expect--I was reminded of the isolation I felt growing up not being able to keep up with my class, and being the most disabled student in my school. It also reminded me that when I was first in school, I was very anxious. I don't know if it was social anxiety or if I was afraid to leave my mother. Who the hell knows.
