Well as most of you know, today was my last day. I did not want to have to do this on my last day, but I had to sit one kid in time out for using curse words. I've had issues with her a lot of times so I thought I would make one last attempt to talk some sense into her. I had her take a look at her brother and asked her if she wanted him to grow up to say those words. I have actually had the same issues with him too. She answered no. My response to that was that her brother looks up to her and if she didn't want him to curse, maybe she should stop doing so.

Also, before we got anything started, the kids presented me with a huge piece of white cardboard saying good luck with everything. They also signed their names on it. I received a card from my co-workers as part of their appreciation for everything that I have done to help them out. Afterwards, we allowed all the kids to challenge me to any game in the game room. If they won, they received three tootsie rolls. It has been fun and I can honestly say that I will miss this place when I am not able to come down. I will continue to volunteer.
