A couple days ago, i received my first real college assignment in the mail. We are supposed to read the book Why College Matters to God by Rick Ostrander and write a reaction paper. My first gut reaction was to groan and sigh and think "school just ended, why more work?" But as i thought about it some more i became excited at the possibilities, Yes, i do just want to go to college for the fun and the friends, but there is a part of me deep down that really wants to learn.
I know the process to becoming a good teacher takes three steps: 1. learning 2. serving 3. transforming
And as i see that take place in my life, i will see it take place in my students as well. The prospect of that makes all the work worth it. But for now, i am learning, and if i am a good teacher, i will be forever learning.
