the job!

the job is amazing. i work with 2nd and 3rd graders, helping them learn how to read. it's challenging work, heartbreaking work. to think that there's this world of knowledge, fantasy, imagination that the children don't know about and can't enjoy because they can't read well. some of the children i tested last week read so poorly that they couldn't comprehend the story at all... they missed out on the key words. it literally breaks my heart. so, i hope that in these group sessions that i have with these kids, i can help them reach their potential and open this world up to them...
