Its Amzing What Love Can Do

-

From the moment the school bus pulled up on the second and third day, with all of the kids in it my hear t was racing, excited but yet still nervous and anxious to start the day. When all of the kids stepped off the school bus with the biggest similes on their faces all of my worries went away and I was just a happy and excited kid. I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday and I will already give unconditionally love and will do anything for them, no matter what.

So far I have worked in the pre-school room and have worked with the kids who are deaf.  I love each and every one of them from 3 years old to 16 years old. They all have impacted my heart and have left their own personally print. On Tuesday I worked in the pre-school room. I built such strong relationships in this room and some unforgettable memories.  One kid that I have connected with so much is Victor. He is the sweetest and cutest kid in the world and although he doesn’t really talk, he has no problem showing his emotions because he always has a smile on his face. For example and this makes my heart melt, I was sitting with a girl named Rosa Maria, just giving her love because she is confined to a wheel chair due to motor skills problems. When Victor came over to me, laid his head on my lap and kind of cuddled with me. And at that moment I realized that all these kids want is real love. I have also built an extremely strong relationship with Diana Pricilla. She is the nicest and happiest girl in the world but unfortunately suffers from being cognitively delayed. I love her so much words can’t even explain it and if I could I would just keep saying how much I want to be with her. At recess today I was walking around with her and holding her hand. When the bell rang to go back to class, I gave her the biggest hug and gave her a kiss on the cheek and told her I loved her. Then she looked up and said I love you to.

I have learned so many amazing and eye opening lesson from these kids that I will take home with me.  I have learned to never take the smallest things for granted or complain. Because walking into the homes during home visits and seeing what these kids go though and how little they have, is an unforgettable feeling. I have learned to realize that I have the smallest problems in the world and that girl drama isn’t the end of the world. I know a lot of kids wouldn’t think about this but when you are in front of these kids and families, seeing the amount of problems they have to deal with, it really makes you notice.   

This is such an amazing experience to see how important love is to these kids and it’s the best thing I can do for them. This is one lesson that I will always take with me and will never forget - that giving love is the most important thing you can give.

Destiny “You may be moved in a direction You do not understand, Away from the safe, the familiar, Toward a vision that is blurry, Yet still pounds against the doors of your dreams, Prays for recognition, Petitions for understanding, Whispers for acceptance. Out toward distant possibilities, You are propelled by a fire, You will never fully comprehend, But cannot extinguish.”-Susan Rogers Norton             As the date is getting closer and closer until I am in a whole different part of the world, in a different way of life, doing something that I feel like I am destined for I am counting down the days until I will be there. This quote describes me perfectly, yes I have fear and doubts, but I also couldn’t be more excited, to go work again, and to feel that extraordinary reward at the end of the day that you may have impacted a kid’s life forever.   As the date is approaching quickly I have also done l...

A New Beginning

“Live your life each day as if you were climbing a mountain, an occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new destination.” -Harold V. Melchert. About 2 weeks ago I was accepted to go to a service trip to Morocco. When I got the call that I was accepted it was like a step toward the summit, a glance toward the top. I will going to Morocco during summer of 2016.   This will be my second trip with Children’s Global Alliance. My first trip I went to Nicaragua and there I learned some of the biggest lessons in my life so far. I learned that no matter where you are in the world everyone just needs the same thing in life, and that is love.   My name is Megan Carty. I am currently a freshman at Vail Christian High School. This upcoming summer I will be teaching English at Abode Salan Middle School, which serves kids from the old medina in Rabat, which is the capital city of Morocco. In this school they house ...

The Final Words

I can’t believe this amazing experience has come to an end. In some ways I also so feel like it is a begging for me because, I am so much more open minded to everything that comes my way and am so much more grateful for all the things I have. All the kids from 3 years old to 16 years old have impacted my heart forever and I will never forget them. I have experienced so many incredible things this week. Some of the most amazing things have also been the most heart wrenching things. For example I went on a home visit on Thursday. The girls name was Julissa she was 24 years old and had Cerebral Palsy. She looked like she had a beautiful personality and could have lots of potential. She was very skinny and her legs were the size of my arm. She also had bed sores all over her face because her parents leave her in her so called “room” for most of the time. Unfortunately with all the potential she could have her parents didn’t really care for her. The first thing that I noticed when we...
