About Children

Throwback post from Learning About Learning, a previous blog about my journey through post-secondary education.

This blog is basically for any thoughts education-related. Like the "about me" says, I'm an education student, and I have a passion for children. I feel as though working with children is a unique opportunity to shape the future, for to have the opportunity to work with a child is to have a great opportunity for good and a great opportunity for harm. Childhood is so formative.

Carl Sandburg once said “A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.” 

The children in my future classrooms will be the doctors, nurses, farmers, janitors, and politicians of the world. That sounds awfully cliched, but it is true. 

God has given me a passion to work with children, to bless even one in some small way, or to bless a bunch in a big way. Whatever it looks like, He has a purpose for me here, which makes it part of my story. Hopefully, I can be a guide to some little people who are just starting to write their own story and point them towards the Author who holds the pen.
