i was so impressed with the girls at enchanted rock these last two days. today we went caving and i was in the very back, and the three girls ahead of me were all pretty freaked out, but they did it! they were encouraging everyone else and telling people where to put their feet and just being really awesome. i used to think i liked the boys most, but the girls are amazing.

when i got here, i made a decision to try to be the best version of myself i can be. minimal gossip, always positive, helping without being asked, finding a balance with the kids.. and it's been really cool. the kids are super respectful and a lot of them come find me to chat about stuff when we're just hanging out. they take the lessons in my class to heart and they're really practicing good leadership skills. it makes me feel like i'm definitely where i'm supposed to be right now.
