Help me... by TheKikkaKibaz on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Young Simon was not ready to raise two kids XD

I actually drew this based on a previous drawing: . I can't really call it an improvement drawing - more like an inspired drawing - because I think it's not so "comparable" anymore (not only because I colored this one and not the previous, but because the feelings and "reason" was really different in this one).

Anyway, I drew this again because, as some of you know, I've been training kids, and it feels exactly like this (except instead of adopting two kids, I have "adopted" about 15 kids with very distinct ages, temperaments and education but that commonly love to make me headaches XD).

It's hard to prevent them to kill each other sometimes while striving to make them feel happy there and learn something. But despite the many times I have to punish them with pushups, I still feel like I've adopted all those kids and I really care about them as my own for that hour ^^ I love hearing them before or after trainings talking about stuff in school or stuff they like and other things they like to share with me. And more importantly, I like to be able to contribute - even if just a small bit - to their development and story. I just want them to feel a positive impact from the time they are there, to be somewhere they like to be, despite whatever difficulties they might undergo at the present moment. The most positive memories I had when I was a kid was exactly from situations like these afterall.

OK, enough rambling haha. In the end, this drawings speaks for itself, which is probably nothing of the words I've said here (but it definately how it is when I'm with the kids XD). OH well haha
