This past month, I have been to so many
Jumpstart trainings that have made me even more excited to begin my work with
Jumpstart than when I first signed up. The training days have been both
educational and fun at the same time; I was able to learn how I should interact
with the three-year-old children alongside meeting my new fellow Jumpstart
workers.
Just this week, my group started our J is for Jumpstart booklets for our
children. In the beginning of Jumpstart, each child will be presented with a
hand-drawn alphabet book filled with colorful drawings for each letter. Despite
the amount of time, work, and hand cramps going into this project, I believe it
will also be the most satisfying when we see the excitement on the children’s faces
when they are presented with something made specifically with their enjoyment
in mind.
I hope the attention and education I provide for
these children who do not necessarily get the amount they need at home will
help them in their future. Not only will they, hopefully, understand there are
people out there thinking about their wellbeing, but they will be getting an
opportunity to catch up with their more privileged peers and achieve the future
they deserve. I just cannot wait to meet these children, see their excited
faces, and impact their lives positively.
