Teaching
Many children sit in a classroom and are asked what do they want to be when they grow up. Many can answer without hesitation. I was one of them. I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I did not really know what type of teacher until many years later. Many students who are asked that are able to follow those dreams then some have life happen and takes them in a totally different direction then one you ever saw yourself going. Well something like that happened to me. I had one dream of becoming a teacher but family reasons pushed me in another direction for many years.

These kids were special indeed they taught me so much about myself. I possibly never would have realized my true passion and calling in life if it hadn’t been for these precious children. They made me realize I had a passion for helping people grow, learning new things, and a calling to work with children who might not be like the rest. Taking this volunteering job was a life changing event for
