I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Moments

Random moments from a day in the life...because they're just too darn cute not to share:


During math (pointing to the textbook) - 
Student: "Look, Ms. Foyle. It's competition. The rabbits are competing for the carrots just like we learned in science."

During read aloud (while I was in the back of the classroom and my co-teacher was reading) -
Student: "Ms. Foyle -"
Me: "Pretend I'm not here."
Student: "Can I leave a message?"
Me: "No." (laughing in my head)

At the end of the day (in realizing he would not be at school again until after Thanksgiving) -
Student: "Bye Ms. Foyle. I'm going to miss you because I won't see you for a long time." (Hug)

Oh, it's the little moments. Good times, cute kids.
Yes, even in light of the long hours and different obstacles that come my way, I love my job.
