Hi Blog...
Now I can think clearly. I am writing letters to parents regarding their children's participation in a special program I run at school. It's kind of like a mentoring/art therapy program for kids who need extra help handling the pressures of being in school, making friends, etc. It's amazing how many little kids - first and second graders even - who can't handle making friends, keeping friends, knowing when it's NOT appropriate to scream at their teacher...all these things you might take for granted they learn BEFORE coming to school...just don't know this stuff. My ultimate goal is to try and help as many kids as possible, through art, find positive ways of expressing themselves. I guess if I can reach one kid then I'll be happy...maybe give them a better attitude towards themselves and the world. I sound like I'm bragging whenever I talk about this, I'm trying NOT to...I just hope I can do something because the kids I work with seem so sad and lost...makes me cry. Anyway, that's why I hace to be coherent! Whoa, I need to draw and calm down, my mind is racing too fast. Good night sweet Blog, until tomorrow.
