Since the day I turned 16, I have been working in childcare. Working with all ages of children from 6 weeks old all the way up to 13 years old for over three years has definitely changed my perception on life.

Working with children is one of the biggest reasons I decided to change my major to elementary education. Meeting and adapting to each child is definitely something that took some getting used to.

As hard as it is to deal with the screaming and the arguing, at the end of the day it is all worth it.

The kids fighting is worth it.

The talking back is worth it.

The constant repetition of the phrases "no running" and "listening ears on" is worth it.

It's worth it to have the ability to even make a slight impact on a child life. The children that I work with today could turn out to be politicians that could impact society in the future. They could turn out to be doctors that save lives. They could be pilots, or engineers, or C.E.Os.

Even getting the chance to teach these children will fulfil my goal in life, which is to leave the world and society in better shape when I leave than when I got here.
