Community of Children

I have always wanted my career to involve working with children in some way. I am fascinated by the way they interact with each other; they have no problem telling each other exactly how they see a situation and they behave so spontaneously. They have no fear of rejection or embarrassment. They don't think, they just do. It's so different from the way we conduct ourselves as adults. We are always worrying how our behavior will appear to others and what will people think of us if we say the wrong thing. Of course some of us are less inhibited than others, but we will never find that same wide eyed wonder of the world that we had when we were children again. For our second essay I have decided to observe a preschool class at a local daycare. I want to see how the children interact with not only each other but with the adults as well. It will be interesting, for me, to observe them in such a large group and watch how they handle structured activities in a classroom environment.
