ORIGINAL: myotherself
I admit they made me cry (in a good way) with their concern, their thoughtfulness and their totally daft attempts to cheer me up.
I admit that's why I love my job and why I will NEVER give up on our young'uns and will defend them to the last.
I admit I am sorry to hear that your father is seriously ill, bunny  and hope he will get better soon 
I admit I totally agree to your statement above, which is why my second qualification was working with kids in children's homes with "original behaviour patterns"....as we sort of name challenging behaviour in a more positive way 
I admit during our summer camp in 2003 a 10 year old kid rescued me from BIG trouble as I had turned on the cooker plate to get hot water for my colleague who was feeling ill that day and had not realised that I turned on the wrong plate instead which lead almost to a fire as on that wrong one was a bread basket made out of hay 
I admit I told my managers about that fact when we returned as we don't get in trouble about such stuff as we do have the emphasis to learn from mistakes, but needless to say I was proud about her behaviour and that she had a check when she had the impression that the smell was not quite right in that moment.
I admit thanks to her quick thinking nothing got damaged apart from that bread basket
I admit since then I am more paranoid in double and triple checking if I turned on the correct cooking plate.
I admit further that during that time I lost a friend who studied to become a teacher as our views about the kids we work with were miles apart and she kept believing to know better from her mainly theoretical qualification compared to me with a mainly practical education.
I admit I am happy when views differ but I do not tolerate when others believe their view is the only right one....which became our issue during that time 
I admit during our final conversation she had thoughts to seek employment in children's homes as she truly believed that this is easy peacy, cause you only need to look after kids there, you don't have to teach them stuff
I admit I was very irritated about her changed attitude (I knew her since 18 years by then) and sadly haven't had mums comment in my mind when she expressed such a view as mum said afterwards "I see...teaching neglected and abused kids the skills to manage an independent life successfully afterwards (statistically, during that time, about 80% of the kids we worked with had to go to prison at least once throughout their life after they left childrens homes) is of course nothing compared to teaching math or french right
I admit I do not doubt that teaching can be a pretty hard job at times and I would not want to do it...but to believe that working with kids, who most of the times are in children homes as they are expelled from the public school due to their difficult behaviour, was pretty naive
I admit I did not officially cloe the door to her but just left it up to her to call, which then never happened, which is ok for me
I admit therefore yes, KIDS rock
I admit my new manager already informed me that one of the kids I will be working with has a huge interest in everything which has to do with electronic...which lead in the past to the fact that he has been found after he had taken apart the dish washer "to see how it looks inside"
I admit I am looking forward to start working there and hope he doesn't take stuff apart during my shifts
