Confessions of a Preschool Teacher
Managing a Pre-school makes my life both busy and happy. I get to share the joy of knowing that little children learn how to read and write a little each day. Their little gestures like their proud smiles every time they have answered correctly or every after performance; their apologetic look when reprimanded; their laughter during playtime; and their little cheeks that turn red when their crushes come around, are very priceless. The way they say “teacher?” is like a timeless music in my ears. I even find happiness in their teary eyes and the way they would stop crying at the site of a lollipop or a promise of a day in the park.
As their second mother, I want to ensure their safety all the time. I don’t want to break the trust their parents gave me when they decided to enroll their children with us. I, for example, take time to check that the cafeteria is always clean, and the foods they serve are not only healthy but also palatable. I also make sure that the driver I hire for the school bus is very qualified. I also have automatic faucets installed in the hallways and toilets so that hand contact will be minimized, which will also stop the spread of diseases. Purell instant hand sanitizer dispensers are also readily available in every classroom, so that the habit of hand washing and hand sanitizing will be instilled in them at a young age. I owe this to them.
Organization is the Name of the Game
The life of a law student is defined by one word: reading. Yes. We read all the time. Our professors always say that it is always better to read more so we’ll know more. I, of course, followed their advice. Now, my pad looks like a mess. There are books and photocopies everywhere, and all my school stuffs are littered just about anywhere. I am looking for file cabinets in the school supplies section of malls or department stores but I can’t seem to find the one I am looking for. I remember that my father had this gigantic file cabinet in his office before, so I called him and asked where I can buy furniture like that. He told me that his secretary bought the file cabinet in an office supply store. He further told me that I can find that store online today.
I did what my dad said and I did found the exact cabinet I am looking for. Not only was it affordable, it would also save me time because they will be delivering my orders right into my home. Now that I know about this online store, I will definitely make my future office supplies purchases with them.
Knowing Whom to Help
You just can’t help but worry about what is happening in the other countries across the globe. You often read about violence and riots that has affected the lives of the people living there. You just cannot help yourself but feel sorry for them and there comes a time that you would rather not hear about it at all.
However, you should not also alienate yourself from knowing what is happening. Reading Current Events News can help you be informed and being informed will help you deal with situations when it us actually happening to you. You will have the knowledge that can prove invaluable for you in the future.
Being aware of the situation that is happening in other places that are in need of help is also one of the advantages of reading the news. After reading about the situation after the earthquake in Haiti I promoted n to act and help out the people there because even with the little help that I was able to give, I know that it somehow helped in the relief efforts.
Thank God that information is readily available to us just with the click of our fingers and the touch of a mouse.
A Masterfully Planned Kitchen Turns TV
A few weeks ago, my beautiful kitchen design Clearwater crew of Italianate architecture in my newly constructed house in St. Petersburg, FL. is now gracing the folds of American home magazine. Thanks to the company that helped me construct my kitchen, the editor is now emailing me to forward my address in one of the producer of a certain home/family channel. They wanted to feature my kitchen as part of their home and kitchen living. Can you believe that!!!!
Before the construction began, I was looking for one of a kind cabinets Clearwater crew designs so that I can have all the ideas ready. This company was referred to me by a young man from a hardware store telling me how good they are in building kitchens. Soon after, I began talking to them about my ideal kitchen and how it will suit my taste. Honestly, I was skeptic since this is a local company and I’m pretty sure some of my designs and materials to be used may not be too familiar to them. I was surprised when they told me that those products where not of good quality and they assure me of their work. Turns out it was all true!
Fitted furniture style was created to promote a casual and comfortable feel of Italian flair. No wonder my chosen materials where no doubt a poor taste and they would never fit in this kind of design. The result was breathtaking! All my thanks to this wonderful company!
