I love this job ❤️

Today at school… was pretty peaceful… no major events went down although…

So do you remember when I said we had a threat to the school? Well ever since then, we have had a security guard at school…

The first one was good – kinda silent and invisible but he watched over us… no one really noticed – but he walked around and did his security. He just wasn’t noticed.

The second one … sat in his car all day on the the speaker phone lol… he was on the phone when I got to school, and on when I left lol … no one noticed him except the staff noticing he was in his car all day on the phone lol … ahhh protection 🤨😄😄

Then today… we had a very conscientious security guard – lol made his presence known and was everywhere lol … so parents were like 😳😮 what’s this?? Lol all day lol … we had to explain they have been here and was due to the threat we notified you about like 2 weeks ago – this one is just noticeable lol … it’s just humorous lol

But anyway… today at lunch … I walk around and make sure the kids are doing ok and I know them all so I just make sure they are safe and I pay attention in case anyone is having a hard time…

One girl looked really sad… so I went over and asked her if she was doing ok… she shook her head but didn’t speak – I could tell something was wrong…

I said again… are you sure? If you need to talk we can step outside and the tears flowed and she shook her head “ok”… so I took her outside with a box of tissues … and she cried. She is new to the school this year… and it’s hard to fit in – you remember right? And then on top of that she lost someone important to her just recently. So she was dealing with grief too… I let her cry… is good to get out… releases pressure

Told her how I went through a lot of loss myself so is ok… and she’s strong – sweet girl… she has many friends already … but just is still struggling cause she misses her old friend too… I told her same with me… I am from east coast not west … so I can understand … we talked a little bit and I think she felt at ease and little better – I had her smiling ❤️ then we were joking around together and I got her to come back in… she was laughing and smiling with me before she went back to her friends… she just needed a minute to release and vent. that’s hard… I feel for her.

And then… I am standing there and this really new girl … as in one month new … comes over to me and starts talking to me…

Usually I beat them to it … I am extremely friendly and try to know all of them… I am not afraid and very out going (surfacely lol … just not privately lol)

I am bubbly and that sorta thing – the kids feel very comfortable cause I put myself out there for them so they don’t have to… makes it easier for them to come to me – and I don’t judge…

Anyway… she comes over to me and says “Hi my name is so and so… my therapist says I need to talk to one new person everyday”

Oh well hello lol … have not had that intro ever before! It was cute… it made me smile for sure!! I was delighted

So I introduced myself … I said hi!! My name is this… nice to meet you! (Almost wrote my actual name right there 😮)

So I asked her what grade she was in … she said 6th and then said what grade are you in ? Lol Oh my god! I love this girl!!!!

I do look younger than what I am – but not that much lol – but I will take it ❤️

I laughed and told her I worked here and this is what I do… if she ever needs anything just ask… or I can introduce her to people and we have a great group of kids – she will fit in fine

She is super cute and has a beautiful smile!! Very delightful to talk to!! We chit chatted for awhile about many various subjects. She’s very sweet!! Very good girl!!

I love her hair… her hair is in a bob and is jet black but it has like shimmering blue green hue to it – very beautiful

I told her how much I loved her hair and wished I could pull it off … she is very uplifting and assured me I could lol

But she also thinks I could have been a kid so lol she is adorable

Well those are my stories from today at work … see why I love being there ??? I can help some, and just totally enjoy all the kids – they really make me love my job ❤️ I love my moments there!!

Alright well anyway, another beautiful spring day. California is good for it’s weather at least

Have a good night ✌️
