How has your experience with SuperKids Camp influenced your future plans, career or otherwise?

At first coming into SuperKids I had my mind made up that I would never be a teacher ( Still I have my doubts ) . Now , 5 weeks into the SuperKid counselor position I can say my perspective on teaching has changed tremendously . Being a teacher is a very difficult task , from children depending on you for all the answers to the very same children being inquisitive themselves , asking questions you didn't prepare to answer . I have the upmost respect for teachers after this summer for the jobs that they do . It is far from easy , but it so impacting , and rewarding seeing the end results . I originally came into SuperKids just to get experience being in front of a group of diverse children , in order to gain skills that I might need in my future occupation as a behavioral consultant . Being a counselor has definitely enforced my preference to deal with children in smaller numbers , but it has also opened my mind to all of the ways I can possibly help children with and the daily issues children of this age deal with and how they solve them (which will help me to find ways to help further)
