Kim the Rec Therapist

Most people expect a rec therapist to be in a suit and be all about business but not Kim, she’s always ready to be active and always has a smile on her face while doing it. The first time I met Kim I could tell by seeing the way she carried herself that she was a very respectable person. Shes full of vibrant colors and very spiritually balanced. Kim goes above and beyond meeting her job requirements.
In the cafe this summer, I was sitting at the table alone on 4th of July and Kim noticed me so she walked over and asked if she could eat with me. At that time, I realized she cared about doing more than expected. Normally staff sit with other staff, but Kim enjoyed eating with us. She didn't bother even talking about the problem, but instead talk about fun things to get my mind off of the problem. By the end of that lunch I had felt so much better and left with a great attitude.
My sister and I decided to go on a kayaking trip with Kim in August for sister day. It was in La Jolla, over by the cove where all the snorkalors go. I have always been really afraid of the ocean and I only went on the trip for my sister cause she loves the water. I was scared to go in the water so Kim told me a story to help me get over the fear and went with me and we did it together.
Once the school year started, Everyone kept bothering me to do something outside of school so I went to Kim and asked her what I could do and she told me music lessons. I told her I wanted to play the guitar so she made it happen. I was very grateful that I had someone that cared about me enough to get me not just what i needed but what I wanted to.
Kim is important to me because she keeps me balanced and before i get upset shes always there to talk to. She helps me find a better place and makes me realize that nothing is ever that serious. Kim is caring and important to me because I’ve never really had someone that cared like she does and she isn’t even family. Even if kids on this campus don’t notice it, she really does so much for us, and we wouldn’t have a lot of the things we have if it weren’t for her. When we all leave this place and move on, Kim will be someone that we remember.
