So, over the course of my employment at my current job, I have realized to be very grateful for one very special thing that I so often take for granted.
That is, that I always have the spirit to be with me.
Over the last few months, I keep hearing random words in my head. They remind me that every knee shall bend and that we need to pray to our Father in Heaven. So I have been doing this alot lately.
Everyday, as I get ready to go to work I pray and ask that all the kids will behave, and that I will have the spirit to be with me.
I can't say the details of the events to grant the kids privacy, but there has been some life and death situations. I was able to remember my cpr/first aid training, and was able to stay calm in the most dyer of circumstances. And was able to be the leader for the rest of the group as to what they all needed to do.
After the incident, my coworker asked why I was able to stay so calm when he was freaking out to the max. I brushed it off and said these things happen in this industry. I have been in the industry for a very long time, but I had never encountered the situations I have the last couple of weeks.
But over the last few days, I have no doubt in my mind that the spirit is what kept me so calm, and was able to provide as much help as I did. And that is what I am grateful for these past few weeks.
