anyway, last year i worked in two different classes, half time in each. one was howard, the one i work in now, and the other was westmoreland. i was pretty close to some of the people at westmoreland. the girls were really good at planning get togethers outside of work time for dinners and birthdays and it was really fun. true to form, after i moved full-time to howard and said, "yeah, ill still hang out," i ended up never following through with it and i really miss some of those girls.
last night i got together with a few of the westmoreland girls for dinner. only lyn, ivy, and kathy showed up so i was a little sad that i didnt get to see anny but it was still really nice to be able to catch up with everyone. i really got the feeling that everyone was "growing up" and moving on to bigger and better things. kathy works at some kind of EC Cares job/toddler care position and works one on one with kids with developmental disabilities and their families in their homes. ivy was accepted into grad school at the early intervention program at the university and this summer will be her last at EEP. lyn currently works at a preschool program with kids ages 2 1/2 to 5 who suffer from emotional disabilities and has applied to the university for grad school and plans on working with families and children with emotional issues.
i felt like i really didnt have much to offer to the conversation about what im doing thats new in life. i love where im at and i know that im still young and dont have to know my calling in life right now (i mean, it took kathy a while to figure it out) but it is really becoming a reality that most people dont stay at EEP for life. i like the position that i hold and what i do (wish i could make a little more money doing it sometimes) so im just seeing where life takes me i guess. i definitely dont plan on leaving EEP any time soon, thats for sure.
