SOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEE!
i just got back from my interview for my stage placement next semester and the interview started at 9 am. (it's now past 1 pm) I got to actually start today. It was awesome!
So I am working at the Montreal Oral School for the Deaf in the Daycare with 3 & 4 year olds! It is a really good experience. Some kids are hearing, some having hearing aids and some have coccular implants (operation where a device after that stays on your head like a magnet and you can hear). I got to sing with them, read stories, play outside (one girl kept trying to run me over with her little bike, she's pretty funny), help them with their snack and then taking off all their winter clothes.
I think that I am going to really enjoy working there and helping them out. The teacher, Lee, was telling me that they really need people to help out. Maybe I'll even do it after my stage is finished. Hmmm see now I am little bit worried. I really liked it today, I loved when I used to tutor Jessica (girl in grade 4... well now 5) and I also loved the stage I did at an elementary school oh and obviously if I've worked at camp for 4 years so I like that also. The question is, am I in the right profession? Should I be in social work or should I switch over to education? I'm sure sure that I want to work with kids so that isn't the question. Just as a social worker am I going to be able to work with kids as much as I would like to or would i be better off in education or something? Oh boy... I hate this wondering. Maybe I'll just stick with social work for now ... od the three years and after that if I feel I'd be better off as a special ed teacher or say one at the oral school for the deaf, then I will switch.
