I decided on becoming a teacher because of a teacher I had in elementary school who made quite an impression on my life (in fact, several of my teachers did). Then came Christ into my life (just before I graduated with my degree) and, yep, it all made sense-it was His calling on my life. Those moments I have felt most alive have occurred when I have been fully engaged in the work He has given me to do. My life was literally spared from some near-death experiences when I was younger, and, looking back one day, I realized He saved me for His purposes and that involved my getting up in front of young people to help them figure things out. I try to impart that very same lesson (discovering God’s purpose for your life) to my students, as well. Can’t do it from my basement, though(or at least I haven’t figured out how to do so.)
The “educators” need to stop abusing our children by exposing to leftist brainwashing. Fire them all. Yank their pensions. Mostly, they are a bunch of whiny “karens” who are overpaid, over pampered and “work” only about 7-8 months a year. Enough already!!!
