Today I have been reflecting on my students. I love teaching; I absolutely love the subjects I teach, the people I teach with, and the school I teach at. I thank God for the gifts he has given me in the arena of teaching. My real passion, however, is my students. I care about them so much it hurts at times.
When I see some of the things they are dealing with on a daily basis, it tears me up: Cancer, Divorce, Death, Injury, Depression, and more things than I can fathom are beating up on their hearts and souls. I know I try hard to reach out to them and be a part of their lives, but I should be trying even harder. I pray that God would bless me with the strength and heart to really dig deep and be a support and life-changer, to battle right along with them as they fight. May I never give up on them and continue to pray daily for them.
Here are some pictures of my wonderful students this year:
