Dream Job


I haven’t been on in a wile due to computer problems so I have missed the mandatory topics that Mrs. Krieger has posted so I'm going to write about them today. My dream job would be to work with special needs children and help them learn the simple things like how to talk and how to take care of them selves. I don’t know why this is so appealing to me but I don’t think that these kinds of children have gotten the kind of support and care in the world that other people with out disabilities have had. My cousin has Down syndrome and he is the sweetest most thoughtful person you will ever meet. He can’t do some of the things that you or I can do but he can feel emotions like no one else that I know. I know some of you have met him and you saw that no matter what you feel when you see him he will put a smile on your face because he has such a optimistic out look on life even though he has gone threw so much in his little life.


I was really upset one day and I was babysitting him and he would just look at me for a few minutes and then laugh and then look back and he would some how know that I was having a bad day and he would come over and give me a big hug and just the thought that what ever problem that I was going threw at that moment isn’t even half of what he's going to have to go threw in his life and he wants me to feel better just made me think about how unfair the world really is. I think that there should be more people in the world like him to show compassion and love in ways that other people cant. And that people that aren’t the same are sometimes the most special and magical people in the world.

Sorry about your computer problems. I think you have great patience in your choice of a dream job. I don't think I could do it without great frustration.
