The Simple Beauties

Monday was the last day of my internship. 

I wasn't ready for it.

I've loved every minute of my internship.

Yes, there were moments where I was at my wit's end and 

days when I got kicked and thrown up on, but it was worth it. 

I loved how I spent everyday helping children grow. 

On my last day I had some free time and saw an infant entertaining herself in her crib, so I took her out and we spent some time together in the playroom just singing, rocking, and talking. 

On my way out at the end of the day, I was fighting back the tears and found myself reminiscing.

"There's where I played life-size Candyland with the kids. There's the therapy garden where I took kids to play when the weather was nice. There's where I hurt my ankle playing floor hockey."

And then I was outside.

It was over. 

I have no idea what's ahead, but I know my internship was one of the best experiences I've ever had. 

One of the hardest.

But one of the best.
