Make Me a Teacher
It took me quite awhile to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up. I pretty much wanted to do everything. I went from being a marine biologist to a secretary to a even dreaming of being a pastor's wife. There was only one profession I just knew I would never, ever do...teach. I was so sure I would be a horrible teacher because, well, I had a whole long list of reasons that I won't get in to. Anyway, as a senior in high school I was asked to be a teacher's aid in a fourth grade classroom. I loved it! It was pretty much the best part of my senior year. However, graduation came and went and I still wasn't convinced that teaching was for me. I randomly chose a state to move to, Oregon, and what do you know? The only job I could find was in a private Christian school. After working there a year, I was finally convinced...I was meant to be a teacher. So here I am, pursuing my dream, and having a blast.

Your story is a great example of God's faithfulness. Glad that teaching is now your dream and I hope that the years at NU will provide a great foundation for the coming years in the classroom. Do you know what grade you would like to teach?
Yeah, ideally I would like to teach 3-5th grade, however, it's not like I would turn down a job that didn't fall within those parameters :-)
