With the Back to School season surrounding us, this article gives me a sense of perspective while reminding me of how big of a responsibility it is be to be a teacher. My student teaching this Spring is in a kindergarten class and I am reminded to continually be praying for our schools, students, teachers, and faculty. We live in a broken world but we serve a wonderful God. Please pray with me that His mercies and hope will fill this world, and we will see less of these stories in the news. Here is an inspiring quote that all teachers should keep in mind.. (From the author of this article who is the mother of Dylan Hockley, a Sandy Hook victim): Despite what we read in comics and see in the movies, the true heroes in our lives are not the mythical ones who swoop in and save the day. They’re our schools’ personnel — the teachers and administrators, school bus drivers, and janitors — who embrace our children as their own the minute they step into school. These real-life heroes do their best, every day, to ensure our children come home to us healthy, a little wiser, and well loved. I am HONORED to be called to be a teacher, and vow not to take this responsibility lightly. I challenge my fellow teachers (and future teachers) to do the same.
