The more I live in America, the more I love it! Wow, it’s unreal to describe how good this could be for a person! Being completely independent from anything that you thought made up your identity (school, family, and/or friends), being completely away from anything you know, just BEING is exhilarating! It’s scary and nerve wrecking and daring, but so so incredible! Here’s why: you don’t know who you are independent from what has made you who you are for the past 19 years, so every day you are learning how to create yourself, and any grown up will tell you this is really tough.
So this week felt really unproductive, but any person who knows me will know that for me to sit at home and do nothing productive in my off time, for a whole week, is incredibly difficult but necessary. So without even knowing it I feel like this week I refueled and relaxed and just had some ‘me’ time. And here’s a tip to anyone working with children, if you are relaxed, your job will be easier, because children pick up off your vibes hectically!
So my post isn’t that exciting in terms of things that I’ve done here, but it’s great in terms of the little things I’ve accomplished! I’ve actively grown closer to God, I feel like I’ve become better at my job and the relationships with my whole host family, and I’m learning how to get over hurt that was caused by a season change in my life.
I remember like 3 weeks ago writing a normal blog post and not feeling it, but instead feeling like I was falling apart and not dealing with things as well as I should be, but now I feel on top of my game, its really cool :)
Oh one more thing, if you’re a future or new au pair and follow my blog, don’t forget to facebook me cuz I wanna do something cool on my blog specifically for au pairs…. I’ve already had some responses from girls asking for advice which I feel honored about! :)
