Assignment #2 cont.
One of the things I loved to do in high school was act like a BIG KID with my little kids in the daycare in my high schoool. We would ride bikes, swing on the swings, play monkey in the middle, the whole "ENCHILADA." Since high school, I haven't had the chance to let loose and be goofy without being judged. However, I get to intern at a daycare, so I get the chance to get wild and crazy. In the afternoons, my two year old friends and I get to use the gross motor room, where we ride bikes, play football, and go nuts. We have the best time screaming, running around, and having fun. Aaron and I rode the fire truck bike to chase Tavon around the room. We tossed the football around for a bit then played catch with the big balls ( haha they were bigger then the two year olds). It is always fun to "cut up" and act goofy with my friends. Acting like i'm two is hard work because of all that running and keeping up with all the other two year olds, but its just so much fun. Whooo... *gotta catch my breath* I can't wait to do that again next Friday. Somethings never get old. No matter how old I get, I will always find time to be a kid.
I interviewed my mom over weekend and the response were just what moms are suppose to say, which was somewhat embrassing.
These are her responses:
1.In the first 5 years of your life, you were very lovable, enjoyed going to the park, enjoyed interacting with other kids, and loved going shopping iwth me. Always loved going to the bathroom in every store. Always heads for the book section in the stores. Loved to read and loved to be independent.
2.Loved to read. Enjoyed riding your tricycle. enjoyed going to the park with your grandpa. Enjoyed goin to Daycare and School. You had the time of your life, when you were a flower girl in your pre school teacher's wedding. You had sparkling juice and thought that you had champange. You always found the book section in every store that we went to and always found a book to buy, which what made you unique. You always loved to jump rope. Lastly, you enjoyted playing the trumpet.
3. Thought that you would become some one who enjoyed working with children. You were alwaus so caring about others and nurturing other children who needed help.

My frist chapter
I am taking Leadership for change because I'm looking for self empowerment. In order to better myself and understand my purpose and role in life, I would need the understanding of what a leader is. I also took this class because Dr. Rock was teaching this class. I'm interested and excited for any class that she is teaching. Many people that are in my class now was in another class I had with Rock last semester, so I've become comfortable with them and very close with many people. I'm hoping to leave with new friends and experiences.
I loved living in Evanston when I was younger because of where it was located. Even though Evanston is a so-called suburb, a city right outside of Chicago, it never felt like I was limited from anything. I lived three blocks from Chicago. I loved walking down Custer St. in the summer. Standing in the middle of Howard Street, being in Evanston and Chicago at the same time. We lived by the CTA yellow line and Purple line, as well at the Metra station and Howard station and a hospital, so I love hearing the trains and the ambulances that passed by constantly. Standing at the bus stop in the mornings waiting for the # 3 bus, I always wondered where the trains were going because I was young and dumb and didn't know anything. I wanted to get on one and just travel to the end of the line and back, just to see what I was missing since I couldn't venture passed Howard Street.
I always wondered if the story about the guy with bumps all over his body and had a baby voice lived down by the train tracks in the alley. I was curious as a kid, so my friends and I climbed the fence to see, but he didn't exist. Growing up I loved that there was always someone outside to play with. I miss the noises that soothed me as a kid. I loved being old enough to walk to the corner store by myself and buy $.5 laffy taffys, banana and the green apple flavor. Going to the park on thursdays for girl scouts, where we jumped double dutch, played other sports, made arts and crafts, and eat cookies and drink red kool-aid. I loved going to the basket ball tournaments at Clyde Callan before they tore down the courts. Hanging and getting in trouble with my cousins in the summer when they were visiting from Canada. So many memories and good times. I was a busy body as a kid. I had to always doing something like playing the trumpet, making arts and crafts, playing cops and robbers and hide and seek outside, amongst other things.
Now that I'm older and there has been so many changes, things aren't the same. I don't have fun like I used to. Nothing is innocent anymore. People have changed and so have I. I can't do simple things anymore, it is no fun when you don't have any company. Having a alright childhood and going through the experiences that I did, it has help build character, responsibility, morals, and leadership.
