Phillis Wheatley ( an experience that changed my life)

I don't think I can describe right now how I felt when I came in through the door and saw too many little kids seated there waiting to met us. It was really a different experience because I had been before with kids, but it was in a daycare where I did my community services hours and there, the children didn't asked why you were there because they were too little. One of the things that amazed me the most was when Alex, my professor asked the kids:"Who were the teachers and the students?". Immediately, they started to telling names and then one of them said:"everybody except for them(talking about us, the college students) and we"(talking about the dreamers). In my personal opinion there weren't teachers, neither students. We were students who are going to teach them the things that we have learned through experience at the same time, the kids are going to be students who are going to be teaching us(because the art of teaching is a two way path). Carlos and Alex are the teachers, but at the same time, students who are learning from us, although it sounds ridiculous. I have to say that I obtained the experience, and for me, every new experience (good or bad) that help you to be a better person is worthy. Maybe we can't change those children at all, but we are going to be there to be their example to follow, their guide. We are going to be there listening to them whenever they want. I think we did a really organized work. The idea of organizing the kids in small groups was the best way to met each other and talk about what we wanted to do. I don't know their names really well by now, but I know that with time I will get to know all of them. For example I'm going to talk about the kids in my group. There was a girl named Kyela and she sang a song (I think her favorite one) for us because she wants to be a singer when she grows up. Also, there was a boy named Kenneth who was the most hyper and enthusiastic of the group; and who I think is the one who will drive us crazy. He just talked to us about what he wants to be when he grows up. That was something that led me got some information about his family and the environment that sorrounds him. He said he wants to be a policeman.
