Reflections on Catholic Education

Learning is a combination of curious wonder and hard work. God has created us with a desire to learn, understand, imagine, and create. My job as a teacher is to inspire students to learn, to explain new ideas so that students understand them, and to create an environment where imagination and creativity blossom. In a Catholic school I can also teach students about our Faith (knowledge) and nurture their love for God (inspiration). I especially love to teach history, geography, and how the Bible stories fit into history.
