Now

I am learning to educate. Through experience, through study, and through example, I am learning what it takes to penetrate an individual's mind, gain their trust and respect, and to use this to instill upon them knowledge they may use throughout their journeys.

Wow.

I am currently priviledged to be teaching in an environment wherein I am able to encourage growth musically, academically, personally, and most importantly spiritually. 

I am now preparing to begin a career in the field of education. A career in which I influence young people and offer them experience, opportunity for study, and provide them an example that they may learn as much as possible in whatever short time I am given with them. I am doing this now, during a historical time in our country, and with hope that with new leadership will come new opportunity for schools, children, and educators. 

Thank you God for what you have me doing now. Thank you for what you are teaching me that I may teach. Thank you for the example that my mother has been, and for the gifts that you have bestowed upon me that provide evidence to reaffirm my confidence in the fact that this is where you would have me in life. I am so excited at the prospect of what is to come, and the glory I can bring you as a result.
