Good luck Katie!

I hope you start liking kids, because the worst thing that a student can encounter to make their school lives harder is having a teacher or assistant that doesn't like kids. Seriously, if you find you don't like them, do them a favor and find another vocation. We have way too many teachers out there that should be in a different field. I love the kids I work with (middle school, at the moment), I'm just not a fan of the teachers in middle school. Elementary was definitely more my cup of tea. It was a much more positive environment.

I'm hoping you find that you do like kids, or that maybe you can work in a vocational school where the kids are because they want to be there, or find an assistant job where you don't have to deal directly with the kids all the time.
