We are their school memories.
We are the exposure to their biggest passions.
We are the candles that illuminate their dreams.
We are shaping their futures, day by day.
Our actions, big and small, matter.
They are listening,
watching,
doing,
as we do.
Our wonder? Lights their fires.
Our energy? Spreads like a virus.
Our questions? Feed them.
Our motivation? Inspires them.
We need to be everything we wish we had when we were a kid in school.
And more.
Every moment we spend with a child, we walk away, changed.
Because those moments?
They make us who we are.
They remind us to keep going.
They remind us doing whatever it takes
is far more worth it than we realize some days.
Because we are part of their journey,
and they are a part of ours.
