Sometimes I find myself thinking back on my first stint of work as a camp supervisor for summer camp geared towards autistic and psychotic kids when I was 21 and just like. Hoping M. is doing fine. I'm sad that I didn't have the experience then that I have now because the way I handled conflict with him was not great, and I wish I'd thought to apologize for it in the brief time we saw each other afterwards

#Matt has a life #Shit from home #Looking back that week of work and M. in particular were one of three experiences that changes.how I interact with children and teenagers #forever and imo for the much better #I'm still not perfect #I yelled at my year 7 the other day and really snapped at the y8 today #which to be fair they did have a hand in it but still you know #I'm the adult there if anyone's going to be able to regulate their emotions it should be me #but anyway #overall I have a great relationship with my students and I'm very happy about it and part of it os due to M and looking back #on the things I did wrong with him #... I kinda want to tell that story now tbh x)#might get me some angry anons but overall i really value it for what it taught me #even if it doesn't cast me in the best light
