We Are Young

Since watching Glee a little while ago, I can't stop listening to the song that they covered. It's called We Are Young by FUN.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

I have already listened to this song ten times, and I'm not going to stop. I think I really enjoy this song because I am just starting to realize that am young. Yes, I need to start thinking about my future, but I am young, and I have the power to do whatever I believe in.

I organized an activity at work today. I printed out a bunch of animals on sheets of paper, and I put a letter on each animal. I hung them around the gym, and I gave all of the children a sheet of paper that had two riddles that they had to answer using the pictures around the gym to match the pictures on their sheets. It worked out fabulously. My supervisor observed that the children ran all over the gym searching for certain pictures in correspondence with the order of the letters of each word. They could have just walked around the gym and filled in the letters as the came to each animal. I'm glad the children did it the running way.

Children just like to run and move and play. I love it. I love creating. I love working with young people. I want to stay forever young. I'll go to Neverland if I have to, and I'll bring all of the children with me, so that we can play all day and never grow old. There will be no TV's, but there will be instruments, books, easels, ropes, rock walls, and an assortment of other activities. Maybe your Neverland is different than mine. There is a part of us that always resides in our Neverland. Even if you do choose to grow older, sometimes you may be able to briefly escape to Neverland. You can do all that you love to do. Nothing can be greater than that.
