(I'm here on the right)The other two in this picture are my co-workers. We are in the same classroom Monday- Friday from 8am -3:15pm. We just started working together in January. I became a permanent substitute teacher in their class after their teacher passed away from lung cancer. We all work together in the special education department working with children with emotional and behavioral problems. I had no idea what I had gotten into or the task that was before me. Entering into the classroom I quickly realized that I was out of my element. These children are from broken homes and neighborhoods that breathes negative energy. The three of us together have formed a team and a bond that I never would have imagined coming from this school. Each of has something that the other doesn't and together we're a perfect match. We love on the children the same. We want them to feel special and loved even when the world around them tells that they shouldn't feel that way. These people hold me accountable in my day to day walk with Christ. They understand that I am growing and I can even confide in them when I have fallen. The other young lady in the picture says that I have helped her calm down so much, because I am pretty calm. The guy in the picture is constantly making us laugh, but is also a great instructor. The kids get to see this positive bond lived out in the classroom everyday. I pray that we have planted some time of positive seed. These are my daily supports and without them in this part of my life I couldn't imagine. I believe God puts people in your life for a reason and I am glad his placed them at this moment in my life.
