I LOVE my job!

Went to work today. Nothing too exciting happened out of the ordinary but I realized when I got home that I LOVE MY JOB! I get paid to play with kids. Plain and simple. For those who don't know exactly what I do, I work for My Gym. Its a kids gym for ages 6 months to 13 years old. For the younger kids its like a "Mommy and Me" class with singing, dancing, puppet shows and gymnastics. For the older kids, its more of a cardio work out. We even break a sweat.

But I KNOW we make a difference in these kids lives. Whether it be as just a teacher that plays with them or helps them overcome a fear of going upside down. We deal with some children who have an array of disabilities including autism and its sooo amazing what a difference you can be in their lives. You see it on the parents faces all the time. Its just soo amazing to be able to go to a job like that. Its a blessing.

For those of you who don't know, I have always HATED public speaking. I DO NOT do well in front of large groups of people. I used to even have panic attacks. I refused to take Public Speaking in college because I couldn't even get up in front of the class. I still have a brief moments of panic but they usually are quick to subside. I honestly did not know how I was going to get thought the first few weeks but I did. We have awesome parents and even better kids. You never have a bad day when there are kids happy to see you.

The last reason I LOVE my job is the people I work with. I have a boss that is totally wicked awesome and who loves her job so it shines through everything else. Every one there is sooo fun to work with and we are all like big kids so we are perfect for that job.

I LOVE MY JOB!
