Starting this over.

AGAIN.

So I'm a college graduate now and living in a new city. I moved 7 months ago for a job that I love. I don't love the hours, but I love what I get to do for people. If you know me well enough, you already know what this awesome "big girl" job is. Its awesome and you should be jealous you don't work there. This job has allowed me to meet SO many awesome people/families/parents/kids. And it teaches me every day that I need to be more thankful for what I've already been given. We all should be. Even if you don't have much, it can all be taken away in a second.
In the past 4 months, I've met two of the strongest 5 year olds. Seriously, I thought I was a strong person(don't get me wrong, I still am). But what I've been through is nothing compared to the hurdles placed in front of these 2 kids. Yet they both bear them with smiles. Every Day. One's been in a wheelchair since he was 2. C is currently undergoing physical therapy to hopefully get him walking again. P has an inoperable brain tumor. The doctors said by this point in her chemo/radiation, she'd be tired all the time, lethargic, not wanting to run or play. But P's the exact opposite. P still chooses to take stairs over the elevator and can outrun the parents like nobody's business. P would probably also win the hide and seek gold medal, if it existed. These two kids inspire me every day. I want to be like P and C when I grow up.
