Even though I'm taking a little break at the moment, I am a teacher, more specifically of 4-5 year olds. I absolutely loved my job, but it also come with seeing children deal with difficult challenges, even at this age. It is heartbreaking that in this day and age, children grow up differently than when we grew up and have to sometimes face issues that takes away from their childhood. Children are suppose to be carefree and happy, just having to play every day. Children shouldn't be sad, depressed, hungry, lonely or hurt when they grow up, but it is the reality of our era. If I can only help by raising to help a handful of children, it is already a handful of children that weren't helped before.
