New project and teaching.

Coming to the end of the semester and looking back on the blog posts.  There haven't been that many.  It doesn't mean that life hasn't gone on.  Actually it means I have a more active life than I had before.  I am so thankful for the opportunity that has been provided for me to attend college over the internet.  I am realizing a dream I have had since I was a small child.  I wanted to be a teacher from a young age.  I have two younger sisters and I made them play school all the time and of course  I was the teacher.  The farther along I get in the process the more I realize this is what I am supposed to do.  Teach.  I naturally love to see others learn something, anything.  My niece Rayvn spent the night with me after Thanksgiving.  She is very curious by nature and we were laying on the bed talking and she was asking me questions.  Somehow this turned into a math lesson.  I was surprised that she readily grasped the fact that anything times 0 is 0.  This is a concept that is sometimes hard to understand and she just got it.   I really don't think it had to do with my teaching ability but her intelligence but seeing the look in her eyes when she grasped the concept just magnified my love for teaching.  I am starting a new project soon and I want everyone to pray for me that I will be able to do a good job.  This project will last for a while maybe even years and I am looking forward to it. I just need prayer that I will be able to use the skills I am developing and present the material in the right way.
