Go 110 percent or nothing

As I woke up this morning you could feel the excitment in the air.  The birds were chirping and the wind was blowing.  Today was our first day with the students.  When we got to the school I was ready to help thesekids 110 percent to my best ability.  The excitment and anxiousness filled me as we met the children.  Their smiling faces told me that it was to be a great day.  After "hellos" I went straight to the preschool classroom.  The room was small but welcoming. The teacher was sitting in a chair watching the students.  There were few chairs and tables.  There were some toys in the corner that had been well loved.  I could see two kids literally sitting and starring at a wall.  I could tell they needed cheering up so I got two coloring books from my bag for my lesson plan to see if it would work and offered them to Ever and Francisco.  Ever quikly grabed the book and begain to color while Francisco sat crying.  The teacher told us that he does that for about an hour then stops and starts again.  I was determained to get him to stop crying.  I took out some playdoh and gave him some.  He looked at it, took it and then dropped it as if he didn't know what to do.  I picked it up again showing him that you can mold it into anything.  He took it again and started to mold it.  Later when I was with Ever he handed me a maker.  I took the marker and opened it for him and gave it back.  It felt so great to do a little deed just to make one kid happy.  Once the bell rang everyone went to lunch.  When they came back I went to the third grade class and watched as the kids copied the numbers 0-9 on to a sheet of paper.  The kids struggled to copy them down.  I saw Conchita using Sammies camera and how happy she was.  These new oppertunities brightens up these kids days.  Most of the rooms feel dead with no excitment but once you get these kids excited with smiles on there faces the room lights up with hope and joy.
