So at first I wasn't so thrilled about the possibility of being a theology teacher and campus minister because I want me real focus to be on teaching, but the more I think about it, the more I think that that could really be my calling. There were always school-wide things that I knew I would want to institute (dress as your patron saint for All Saints day, for example, or a pilgrimage to Rome), I just figured I'd do it in my capacity as a teacher, not as a campus minister. If I did get this job, though, I'd be able to make these things happen, not just suggest it to people. I could plan things and get approval rather than just hoping somebody else agrees with me and takes it up. I could encourage seniors to go on http://www.crossroadswalk.org/ and set up a holy hour for parents. I could plan parties for major feast days and take kids on the March. I'm even excited about working out cool fundraisers (like a real Italian dinner with antipasti and insalate and primi and everything to raise money for the Rome trip). Part of my struggle with youth ministry was that so much of the time had to be convincing kids to show up--doing stupid "fun" stuff without any substance. In this kind of a job though, not only could I relax and have fun knowing they were being catechized in class, I could also do real stuff cause I wouldn't have to worry as much about drawing them in. This could be good.
