Teaching is a funny thing. There are so many different ways to asses how effective your teaching has been. Tests, quizzes, projects... and a fun one for me; how my students treat each other.
I am in no way a great teacher. I tell my students that all the time and they just say "yes, you are!" and I just say "thanks" with my most condescending tone.
So today, I felt compelled to try to try to teach my seniors something. I took a blog post from my favorite blog, Bad Catholic, and did my best to turn it into a PowerPoint that I could share with my students. I think it went alright. It is honestly very difficult to tell considering my audience were in the midst of their last day of their high school career.
Nevertheless, I am glad I did it. If any of it sunk in; great! If not, I at least tried.
I did enjoy my last comment to them though... I remember it going something like this... "please, please, don't become a person who would like hell better then heaven"
Graduation day tomorrow and I head home in a week!
Peace!
There is a longing we all have that cannot be fulfilled. Union with God is the only true source of joy, yet, the pull of worldly things persists. The struggle goes on, but God is with me all the way. Here are my thoughts, findings and ramblings as I try to be my perfect self, for the glory of God.
Who Am I?
- D-Wherl
- I'm just a guy trying to trust in God and be the best I can be for God and others, then myself.
