Laughter is the Best Medicine

I can honesty say that I've never laughed harder than I have tonight. I don't know if it's the tiredness or the kids' goofiness, but I've just been dying laughing from all our silliness. I think it's a symptom of me working at Tilden Middle School. All day I am quite serious working with the kids, making sure they're doing work and helping them out. And a lot of times they test me patience, but I've been keeping all those negative emotions in. I think all the laughing is me letting out a lot of pent up stress and helps me cool off from the chaos that is Tilden. I just need a laugh to get my mind off some the problems and struggles the school goes through. So lesson from David: when you're feeling stressed or bummed out from negative emotions or experiences, just have a laugh and see if anything changes.

I can talk so much more about my experiences at Tilden and with the kids, but I need to collect my thoughts and form them into something coherent.  All I can say for sure now is that I just want more time to help. I feel like my job is not done here, and I need more time.
