Sprockets

This is the first time I have posted since September or something like that. That's a little crazy. But then again, so are things around here.  Moving to a new province has its perks, but it also has many challenges. It's an incredible experience though!

Today, a kid that was in the class that I did a co-op in for high school last year started talking to me on Facebook. In and of itself, that is not a spectacular event, or really worth mentioning, but it was what he said that really moved me. He started out saying, "hey mizz nutt," just like he always does (and I find this incredibly hilarious). Next thing I know he was telling me that he wished I could come to Sprockets (a film festival in Toronto) with his class again this year, complete with the date that they are going. The reason this means so much to me is because it means that I made some sort of a positive impression on this child.  It's kind of nice to know that I made a positive impact on at least one kid during the short time I was there. I was only in that classroom from mid-February to mid-April. That is not a lot of time to let the kids at that school open up to me, or to make much of an impression, or so I thought. Clearly, I mean something to this boy, even nearly a year after I finished the placement.

This just turned my day around.
