Since I was 8 years old, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I was that annoying little girl who wanted to "teach" all of her friends and never let them be the teacher. I would teach my baby dolls or my Barbies and even my younger siblings. As I grew older, I knew that this was what I wanted to do with me life. As I grew, so did my love for little kids. I remember wanting to be in the nursery when I was 12.
I love the way little kids interact with each other and with the teachers. I love the way their faces light up when they realize they understand what you are telling them. I love their thirst for knowledge and how, even though it may get repetitive, they ask you why or how something happens. I love seeing the joy on their faces as they run around the playground and run from each other when they play duck, duck, goose.
I thank the Lord that I know my calling in life. I thank Him that He has my life planned out, for His glory and that He has told me why I am here. I love influencing little kids lives. But with that comes responsibility. I am realizing that more and more as I continue my education to become a teacher. I am learning that I will have the opportunity as a teacher to help guide them in their lives as they become a teacher themselves or maybe the president. I am learning that this gift with children and this passion must be used to bring God glory. I know that He is the one who has given that desire to me and I know that I need to take that role seriously and learn early on the effect, whether positive or negative, that I can have on the children I come in contact with.
*Father, help me to become the teacher and woman that You want me to be. Help me to bring glory to You in all that I say and do. Thank you for this passion and this desire to help others as they grow and learn.*
