I think that one of the biggest accomplishments that a person can have is whenever they manage to significantly help another person out. Being a teacher is probably one of the most rewarding professions because you literally feel that you are helping a student. Yesterday one of the most amazing things happened. Since it was a very sunny day I decided to go to the pool. A group of little kids suddenly appeared and I immediately thought that they would be a bit annoying. However, I was completely wrong. I noticed that there was one little kid that was left out because he didn't know how to swim and was afraid of the water. He managed to get into the water by himself, however, he was still afraid of letting go off of the edges so that he could try to swim. I started laughing at one moment because he just looked so adorable. I went inside the pool and taught him how to swim. It was a pretty awesome moment :)
The look on his face whenever he managed to let go off the edges is something that I will never forget. He looked so happy and proud of himself. It reminded me of the first time I learned how to swim.
When was the last time you felt that way?
