to be a kid again

today for the community outreach program we got to do the children's charette at church street public school. quite an experience. it brings me back to my childhood....was i like that when i was small? is the question i would always come to. one of the groups fought over the name of their team and one girl cried over having the word 'the' out of the team name from 'the white tigers' eventually becoming 'white tiger' eventually becoming 'fast white tigers' which everybody was happy with. i witnessed the segregation, and the leaving out of people, and the nasty things kids do to one another. quite sad, but i guess these things make us stronger people.

yesterday had lunch with my pastor downtown, it's good to get away sometimes all of a sudden from school work. it puts things into perspective. and he help me put some things into perspective.

teaching kids also helps put life into perspective...you forget everything except working with the kids.
