I've worked with kids for the past 4 years and I love it. Every day is slightly different. When it's fun, it's really fun in the purest sense. You get into really fun and whacky scenarios. It's very rewarding to hear your name cheered when you enter the room. When it's stressful, it teaches me something. I feel like it's made me a better person overall, to others and to myself. It's rewarding to share my years of experience of life to help solve their problems. Sometimes it's like an emotional time capsule of remembering what it was like to feel what they feel but also be aware as me in the current day. One kid had a PS1 and SNES mini so we got to bond over random games like Megaman X and I told him how to get the Hadoken.

It also helps that I'm social and playful and goofy af so I get to let that side of me out more.

I have worked summer camp and summer camp is a little too much. School and afterschool is nice but summer days feel incredibly long and hot, the energy levels are super high cause they're out of school, etc and there's no down time. Basically it's just very draining.

I've technically worked with kids from every grade from K-12. I have the least experience with middle school. I think I work best with grades 3, 4, 10, and 12.
