My very first class of students arrive tomorrow for four weeks of intense summer instruction. I've been thinking of what kind of teacher I would be. Will I be funny? Will I be mean? Will my students like me? More importantly, I've thought a great deals about what kind of kids will be in my classroom. Will I have any Calvin's? I've given myself over to the fact that I will not know until I get there. It's a bit crazy, but I'm excited. I feel as prepared as I'll ever be. Hopefully they don't taste any fear.
"Today is the first day of the rest of your life"
This is a quote that frequents the walls of Carver Elementary School and has caused me much thinking over this past week. Tomorrow is most definitely one of those days that will dictate the next two years, and possibly more, of my life. I am thrilled, scared, nervous, excited, happy, and insecure all at the same time. I can only pray that God would bring me through it. That he would grant me the humility to serve these children as best as I can.
Tomorrow is Dday. I begin my career as an educator as a 4th grade teacher at Carver Elementary. Tomorrow, is the first day of the rest of my life.
Prayer Request - Please pray that I would serve these children with humility and love. That I would be a good influence and a gospel witness.
