A very memorable moment for me happened in Waco, Texas where I'd just got done working at a daycamp in a rough area of town. Me and another girl, who worked with me, were making sure one of the kids got home OK, and one of our supervisors, a male, kind of followed a little way behind to make sure we were safe. A little girl about 8 or 9 years old was going the other way and as she passed, she warned us about the guy that was following us, our supervisor. I was struck first by her awareness of her surroundings, and thought it was a little sad that at the age of 9 she recognized this as dangerous and felt she needed to warn us. And then I thought about her kindness in telling us, two girls she didn't know well at all, about a potential threat to us. She was just looking out for us, and I found that very touching.

I'm willing to learn anything new and try most things at least once. As for teaching and sharing, I let that come with the moment and if I have relevant information or skills to impart I'll do my best to impart them.
