parklands interview was well good (:
i was meanty have to wait a week or so until she got back to me, but she just said at the end, pretty much; "look today has gone really well, i don't see why you can't just start next week if that's okay with you." was like yass :)
got there about five to ten and got straight in to talk to mrs o'hair (who's first name i have forgotten, shit). pretty much just got asked what you would expect - subjects i took, how i like school, what my interests are etc etc. she said "i'm just wondering what you can bring to this job" and i was like ehh..i like to read :| cause like i freaked out but then she started talking to me about twilight and i was like phew i'm safe. talked about other stuff.
asked me why i was interested in the job. i know, obviously, but it's hard to just stop and think of how to word it in a way that gets your point across to other people.

i want this job because i've seen how much people like this can help a child first hand. i've seen how one person taking a few minutes to get to know how your mind works rather than assuming you're "difficult" can comepletely change your life. i want this job because from the minute it came into my mind that i might be able to do it, i've known that there is nothing else i want to do. i want this job because i don't want to change the world - i want to change a couple of kids life.

then i got to meet everyone. awwwwwh they are all lovely :D i'm gunna be working with the five most severely disabled kids in the whole place - but for kids who've got it shit, they're such a cheery bunch you cannot help but smile! :) out of the five of them, only one of them can walk, and i think only one can talk properly, but they're a fun bunch :) they all communicate in their own way, and from only being there an hour this morning i can already tell i'm going to love working with them :D

the whole place is covered in amazing work, posters, pictures of activities, information about things they've done, award the school/individuals have won - it's lovely (:

soz went on a bit there.

proud of myself ^^
