Trip to the Day Care center

The trip to the Day Care center on Friday the 27th was interesting and a new experience to me. Children in the day care had many different experiences from mine, which sometimes gave me a hard time to answer their questions.

After we arrived at the Day Care center, I was assigned to take care of the 5 years old kids. At first, it was really awkward because the children were learning and were shy to us. Our task was to help them with some problems that they don't understand in their activity booklet. As I started to learn more about the individual in that group, I've started to learn their name, their grades and their interests. Later on, I've learn that this group that I was assign to help was called the apple group and consist of one of the smartest one in the whole class. The children there were intelligent and creative in their own imaginations.

In that 40 minutes, while helping them with their classwork, I've received a shocking question from one of the little girl in my table. She had asked if I had a mother or not? After hearing this question I was in a dilemma, either I should be answering yes or no? Before answering I think greatly about it because I was scared that I might hurt her feeling, but finally, I decided to answer this question with 'yes' (softly) and immediately change the topic.

We also did some organizing and cleaning in the storage room. It was a big deal of hard work and from it, I've received some bruises which were mostly caused by carrying too heavy objects and dropping them on myself. However, the bruises and the pain that I got from doing this became like reminder to me, which would remind me of how much effort I put into this. Even though I felt that I'm still lacking in many parts, I was thankful that I did my best in that day and that giving that much effort was a worth it.

Note: I was greatly thankful to the three children that sat next to me on that table because they were the one who bravely stepped forward and talked to me.

Patriots or Terrorists?

Patriots or terrorists? A question that's so simple but so complicate to answer. For me, in my point of view, the answer for this question is still blurry and unclear. There is not absolute answer to this.
However, I would say that these colonist that participate in the Boston tea party should not be call terrorists. Based on what I read and discuss on the Boston tea party, the patriots were more like defending themselves and their country from getting bullied by the British (Getting bullied by the British in my sense is the British creating taxation laws on the colonists and taxing them unfairly). Calling them a terrorist was a little too intense because terrorist are fighting with revenge and they do not care for the innocent citizens. For example, the shocking terrorism that had occur in the world trade center had caused many innocent people to die or injured. The patriots are not seeking for revenge but are seeking for independence and freedom.
The reason why they start to fight back are very similar but the way they payback are different. In our modern days, I would prefer the patriots than the people who are called terrorist.
