A friend of mine from my old job asked me if I had any of the projects I had from when we worked together. When I was digging through my files I found some stuff that made me think that I really enjoyed my job facilitating tech projects with youth.
I enjoyed it a lot.
If I were stuck in some sort of impossible hypothetical where I had to work, but salary wasn’t an issue, I’d easily choose this job. But it wasn’t just the job. I also worked with some wonderful people that gave me incredibly freedoms and trusted me to such a length that I was able to put together some really entertaining and educational programs and activities for young people.
And this freedom and trust trickled down to the young people who I supervised. The big green table in the center of the tech lab was an “idea table.” The young people would bring their ideas to the table and discuss it with an adult mentor who then helped to guide them into the planning stage.
I want to build a Lego robot.
I want to make my own video game.
A group of kids had an idea for a documentary film, for example. ”I’ll give you a video camera once I see your idea on paper,” I told them. At that green table they outlined the premise, wrote interview questions and even delegated a member to go make a theme song for the movie.
This is their documentary film (and there’s a Mike Lawson cameo):
I also did some fun Photoshop projects with the young people. I’m serious…I taught 6-year-olds how to use Adobe Photoshop! Some of you grown bitches can’t figure it out, and a 1st grader made this:
Another really awesome idea that some of the kids had was to make a weekly radio show. Radio was kind of out of the question…so I taught them about podcasting! They did about 20 weeks worth of radio shows called The Guad Squad (The Club is located in Guadalupe…so Guad Squad is a cute pun). Here’s what a regular episode sounded like:

It’s very rare when all the correct ingredients are in the pantry of your life to make such a delicious loaf of bread. In 2008-2009 I was lucky to have the right support from above and the right children below and the right attitude inside.
What about you guys?? Have you ever had a job that was perfect (except for maybe the salary or location or something) that you sometimes wish you could go back to?
It wasn’t exactly a Nobel Prize in Literature…but it was close. This week I’ll tell you about the time I wrote an award-winning piece of fiction. Plus, I’ll announce the winner of the What Some Would Call Lies t-shirt giveaway.
It’s Tuesday, y’all! So here is Episode 10 of the What Some Would Call Lies podcast.
