Coming full circle.

Short gasp, brief delightful sigh : "I’ve come full circle."

And I would’ve never dreamt that it would happen

I want to be a mentor, peer editor and teacher to children.

I found myself engulfed in a paper focused on Customer Service and I couldn’t pull my eyes away.

They searched radically across the page as I highlighted words, marked sentences and corrected punctuation marks with ease and sophistication.

I found myself with a pen pressed near my lips and fingers locked between white paper sheets and a noisy keyboard. Simply typing away to find more info to give this paper some pizzazz!

I created a cover page with ease, knowing immediately what to type in the search box and which images would fuse together the different aspects of technology, computers and its users and I was pleased with my work (smile!)

I thought of the other tasks I could’ve been doing but knew that I wanted to do this, it brought me joy and comfort. Like it was an accomplishment of some sort.

My friend listened earnestly to my directives and understood as I went through the written piece. She nodded often and laughed spontaneously.

She stated that I did well and that she would recommend me to her college buddies. I admitted that my first passion was to be a teacher and that I wouldn’t have ever imagined revealing that or even feeling like a teacher; but I did. I recalled how I was able to assist my young nephew on a school project. I took an adult idea and conformed it to a state where a young highschooler could understand; in fact he loved the ideas and combined the two in one piece! I was instructive but lenient.

In the past, I felt that teachers needed to be passionate and observers needed to see that drive for teaching that I didn’t possess and I opted out, but my friend quipped that statement saying that she could see the passion in my eyes and that I should be one.

This revelation has me contemplating the completion of my education major and opening my home to mentoring young children through peer editing, writing papers and improving grammar. I’m in awe, who knew!?!

Definitely something to think about!

God has blessed me with many gifts/talents. Even if I am unable to teach one-on-one I will be able to help others through my words and actions everyday.
