Well I want to be a teacher, a Social Studies/Religious Studies teacher. Today I had my first taste of classroom experience. I had so much fun, the sixth graders at Woodland are really nice kids.
I did get asked a strange question today, a question that used to make my blood boil, but it does not anymore. It is still a question that people do not need to be asking me. I was asked, by one of the students if I had an eating disorder. I just took a deep breath and prayed and very nicely explained that I did not have one. Yes I'm a thin girl, but that's just because I'm really high strung. I'm starting to calm down though.
So the students were making maps,with keys and legends. Some of them were making population, precipitation etc. I got to walk up and down the rows and help as I was needed.
Toward the end of the time I was there I met the teacher's wife. She is an awesome lady, she is a very strong Christian. She was carrying her bible, and she was telling me how she never went anywhere without it. She also told me that her husband was a really strong Christian too.
I can't wait for next Friday because I want to go back. I want to go back on Monday, but I can't.
I know now that I not only want to be a teacher but I need to be one. Walking back I realized just how strong the calling that was on me to be a teacher. I really don't understand this right now, but I know I will it is just going to be a matter of time.
I came back and I had so much love for God in my heart that it made me sleepy. I attempted sit down and read, but that only made it worse. I went to Philosophy, and I was so tired. I just wanted to sleep.
I came back here and I got ready to go see my Academic Advisor. I walked into her office and she and I had a very long, very involved talk. She said something to me that was very cool, "I could see you as a youth group leader." I just keep getting told that.
It must be in God's will that that is one of the things that I'm supposed to do. That is all that I can think of, well I do love kids and God. I guess I will just see what God lays before me in the next few years.
More great news to come in a later update.
