I am called
to a faculty position
in a small
secondary school...
a school that is a community
in more than name only,
a school where I can help students thrive,
a school where I, too, can learn,
a school my family will call home.
Delivering on passion
Several people have counseled me that my wide net shows a lack of passion for a particular role or position or discipline. Perhaps, but my passion is for small schools; my passion is for community life; my passion is for making a difference in the lives of students. If these passions are not enough, so be it.
Called to Teach. Called to Serve.
