No, I don't have kids. However, I do have students. And these are my kids. I love them so much!
Yesterday I had professional development in the morning. In the afternoon I went to school to finish up the day. We had a good day in 4th block! My kids were very attentive and we had a little fun. It makes me smile every time I think about how much I care for those kids. At the beginning of class I had a student ask me if he could stay after and get some extra help on his work. I was shocked. This student is failing my class and doesn't put any effort into my class. I jumped at the opportunity! He stayed for an hour and I think we made some headway into his understanding of some concepts!
At the football game last night, I loved getting to see my kids. Several kids commented that during the class I missed that morning that some discussion about the bible and verses from the bible happened in my class. Two of the boys leading this conversation were two that are always causing problems in my class and also happened to be the ones who said not so nice things to me a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked! I've been praying every night for individual students by name and I pray that God is continuing to work in their lives.
After the football game I was chatting with Coach Evans about softball stuff and the football players started coming out of the locker room. I got some hugs and high fives from students. I really can't describe in words how much I love what I get to do every day! I love the feeling I get that I have kids that I love and who love me. I don't know what I'll do when some of these kids graduate. It makes me a little emotional just thinking about it!
I thank God every day that I was called to this profession and that I get to wake up each new day and see those wonderful kids!
Thankful,
Katelyn
