last thursday i stayed up until 4am. normally i would not be pumped about this. so many thoughts ran through my head that got me fired up. what if i was a high school teacher? what if i can make an impact on a teenager that will last a lifetime? as i write this several teachers automatically come to mind: Momma Chern, Dileo, Mr. Sue-Jeens-Ski, Giles.
Giles is a licensed lawyer. he decided to teach business law, a job with a LOT less income. i went to visit him during his office hours, and he lit up. i could touch his passion it was so evident.
Momma Chern! during fourth period one day, she looked down and said, "these aren't my pants!" FOURTH PERIOD! i loved AP English, and writing for me is pulling teeth!
Dileo - a man with a stutter. enough said.
Mr. S greeted me as I walked into his classroom. he cried on the last day. that caught me off guard. i want to be that passionate.
it's a matter of me getting the balls to follow through with this. i'm signed on for two years at Genworth Financial. after that, MBA? masters of Education? or maybe consulting.
uncertainty... i hate it and i love it. i want to know what i'm doing in the future, but i love it how God has some sweet plans up his sleeve.
