My Most Memorable Moment So Far This Year

As a second year corps member, I have personally seen countless achievements by the children in Jumpstart. So far this year, Jumpstart has given me many opportunities and millions of unforgettable memories. My most memorable moment so far this year would definitely be when one of my partner children’s moms emailed me. This email made my day! She told me how thankful she was for having me in her son’s life and how she has already seen an improvement with him. She was also ecstatic to say that her son always talks about families and that he never spoke about families before we worked together. Since I am able to email back and forth with his mother, I get to hear about all of the things I helped her son learn. This truly makes me feel amazing. I love working with children and watching them grow and learn. It is especially rewarding to get positive feedback on my work. It really proves to me that I am doing a great and meaningful service for these children. It makes me so blissful to know that I am touching the lives of these children through songs, reading, poems, and play, and that their parents recognize their child’s growth.
