Observation

So I am going into Elementary Education at UVU. In order to get into the program, we have to take prerequisite classes. My first prereque class, I was to observe a classroom for 20 hours. I decided it would be AWESOME to observe my first/second grade teacher, Ms. Sutton. This lady is my underlying inspiration to become a teacher. Ever since I can remember I've wanted to teach because of her.  She is so kind and genuinely loves her kids, or her "babies" as she calls them. 
As I observed her classroom I fell in love with all the kids. They are SO honest when they talk to you. Here are some quotes from the cuties:

"Man, that play was worse than sacrament meeting."

A boy comes up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder and says "You look really happy."

My hair was flipped weird one day when I walked in. A little girl tells me, "Oh, you  didn't brush your hair today, here I will help you." She smoothed out my rouge hair strand.

"OH! My brother is a computer genius! He just gets on the computer after school and types way fast."

"I can't marry you, we're cousins."

"One time I felt bad because someone called me a 'tally'."

One day Ms. Sutton said "You guys are making fun of my drawing?" Many of the children responded with, "I love it Ms. Sutton" and "Ms. Sutton you are awesome!" The kids just love her. 

These are only a few and I wish you could've heard them in real life. They were never mean, just sincere in their thoughts.

Today was the last day of my observing and when Ms. Sutton told all the kids to say goodbye, every single one of them came and gave me the greatest hugs ever and said they were really going to miss me. Awe I love them!
This reinforced why I want to be a teacher. Not only to teach kids about math, english, science etc.. But to teach them how to be good people, and they teacher me how to be a better person as well. Their sweet and innocent faces are so adorable. And I can't wait to have my very own classroom one day. :)

Dreamin is as Dreamin does.

Dreams are so crazy. I think dreams tell us what we really want. Except what is a dream? I found a definition on Wikipedia.

--->Dreams: are a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not yet understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.

So, when you're dreaming, you have no control over what  your dream is about. You can't change anything that's going on. Does this mean that dreams tell you what you really want? Is it your subconcious telling you/helping you make a decision? OR are dreams just there for you to be entertained while you sleep and have not meaning at all?

I'm not quite sure. Because recently, I have had dreams about things that have happened to me. Only the situation I am in is warped by my mind and there are key things that are different or a different emotion or idea that comes to my head. Is this my "concious" trying to tell me something? GAH, I don't know. Maybe I'm look to far into dreams. Hmm. Well until I can figure it out, just keep dreaming on.
