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

Year 10 - At it Again (A Poem)

Wouldn't you know it,
I'm at it again.
It doesn't seem easier
even though it's year 10.

Butterflies in my stomach
a lump in my throat;
teachers running between meetings -
we're in the same boat.

Class lists to analyze,
supplies to unpack,
new names to memorize,
routines to bring back.

It's all get to know you
and procedures, week one.
Then the year's off and running -
The work never seems done.

The grading, the planning,
and the stress never end.
But it's not just a job -
it's a vocation, my friend.

It's a joy and a challenge
all rolled up in one.
And each day is different,
Just breathe, have some fun.



Bonus! ;)
