Teaching AIN'T for everybody! But LEARNING is...

Young minds are always directed to ponder the age old question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I am STILL trying to find out as I explore a plethora of career options.

All through high school, a focus was set on Biomedicine and my love grew from exposure to Science through my teachers. One teacher in particular was Mr. Green (Miami Central Senior High School-Rocket 4 Lyfe!!!) that I had for two years of advanced Science. We had t-shirts with the cool slogans (at least we thought-the "original geek squad") to increase awareness of animal extinction, environmental causes, and anything else deemed worthy of our support.

What type of student are you? Are you a visual learner-needing to SEE everything first or auditory learner-needing to HEAR everything? Do you prefer hands-on (kinesthetic)?You can be all of these "TYPES" at one time; just be willing to become a life long learner.

Think of your experiences and exposure as foundation building to uncover opportunities to learn; to grow. Use your knowledgeable skills and put it into practice...after all, practice does produce experts!

Being an expert is a GIFT! We all have gifts (things you do well), qualities that set you apart from everyone else. Inventory of self: What is your gift and your calling? Are you using it? My personal gift is TEACHING and my calling is working with CHILDREN...and yes, I am using it!

According to Meyer (2010), "God is not in the business of frustrating and confusing people."
