A year ago I would have never even imagined loving other people's babies to the point of my heart breaking when saying goodbye to each and everyone of them. I would never even have imagined working with crying babies at a daycare centre in the first place because I don't possess an ounce of patience.
A year ago I was offered a job at a daycare centre and I accepted. I don't know what made me think that working with babies would be a piece of cake. Well it isn't. It's actually a piece of very exhausting work. First of all babies love attention. If you don't want them crying that's what you have to do until they fall asleep. Which by the way is extremely difficult because most babies don't love sleep.
Anyway I wasn't just offered a holiday job but I was given a chance to be a part-time mom to 20 babies. I became their mother, teacher, their playmate, their comforter, their nurse. As I got to know each and everyone and started to love them and inturn they me.
I got to play with them, pretended to cry with them and they would comfort me. Gosh that was beyond adorable. I got to see them grow up fromvbabies to toddlers. I got to see their first tooth, I got to see them crawl, I got to see their first steps (which is a aight to behold) and even and even heard tgeir first word or rather name (my name). Words can't even describe how I would feel at each moment. Gosh and to think their parents weren't even around to witness these moments.
For somepne who has a low self-esteem these babies made me feel like I'm worth sonething, like I am useful and made me feel like I mean sonething to them. I would be the first they'd come running to when they were crying and I'd comfort them. They would adore hugging and kissing me. I would never complain because I simplyoved it. There were somedays I would come to work grumpy or sad and they would make me forget about anything that troubled me with their silliness. They never ceased to amuse me. This was the start of the deep affection I felt for each and everyone of them and it was also the start of the passion of working with them.
I can't bring myself to say that I've wasted this year because I haven't. I not only worked with these children but I also matured with them. A year of working at that daycare and the people I worked with shaped my character. Heck I even learned how to patient. The one quality I never possessed a year ago. I never though that I'd think to wasn't to pursue a career in teaching.
These children taught me the 3 inportant this which are to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something and to know how to demand with all my might that which I desire. Working at that daycare definitely gave the meaning to the quote "you never know what you have until it's gone and you never know what you've been missing until it arrives".
