I love kids. Little kids make my day on a daily basis especially when they get excited about absolutely pointless things. I work with little kids every weekend, I baby sit, I have volunteered for summer camps at Westside and I work there as a birthday party host. There is this one little girl in grade 5 that went to summer camps while I was volunteering there and she now goes to Calgary Academy. I saw her last year but I didn’t think she remembered me so I didn’t say anything. During the Terry Fox Run this year we had to go to a grade 5 class and find a theme for our grades. She was in the Grade 5 class my class was paired with this year. When she saw that I went to her school, her face just lit up. I have never seen expression of true excitement until this. She jumped out of her desk and hugged me as soon as she could. She wouldn’t let me go until I promised her I would volunteer for Westside again. I kept telling her I had to go but she didn’t let me ago until her teachers had to peel her off of me. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. Every time I see her in the hallways, she runs up and hugs and smiles the biggest smile I have and/or ever will see.
