I've been working with kids for quite some time now. And, over the time I've worked with them, I've learned a lot. Both about myself and all the kids I work with. I see them everyday, I know what they like and definitely what they don't like. It's a roller coaster every day. I never know what could happen next or what life (or the kid) might throw at me next. While it can sometimes be a hair pulling nightmare, there's a lot of plus sides to working with kids. These are 10 reasons, why working with kids is THE BEST.

1. They Are Brutally Honest

Kids say the the first thing on their mind, they do not think before they speak, they are not afraid to point out when you make a mistake. It means that you need to be fully prepared for everything and it keeps you humble.

2. They Love To Laugh

Kids love to laugh no matter if it is funny or not. Their joy is contagious and their laughter always makes me smile.

3. They Are Sponges

Kids soak up everything you say and teach them. It takes you mentioning one thing 7 months ago and they still remember everything about it. Their minds are so ready to learn.

4. They Have No Fear

Have you ever seen kids climb monkey bars, jump off of furniture, or scale a wall? If you have this needs no further explanation. If you haven't, please google kids playing and then agree with me.

5. They Have No Shame

Kids are not afraid to run around and look crazy. They are carefree and run with no inhibitions or anything holding them back.

6. You See Them Grow

When you work with kids you constantly see them grow, from height, to learning new skills. Kids constantly are growing and learning.

7. They Say It Like It Is

If you want an honest opinion of if you look fat or ugly ask a 5 year old, they will the truth.

8. They Ask Honest Questions

Just as they give you honest answers, they ask honest questions that make you think deeper about yourself as a person.

9. They Challenge You

From their honest questions about life, to how quickly they learn they challenge you to be smarter and smarter everyday.

10. They Make You Grow

Even though they are little it doesn't mean that they have a little impact on you. They change your life drastically for the better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
