What is my goal, purpose, or vision as an educator? My main purpose for teaching is to prepare students with the knowledge and values, so that they can be used by God in great and mighty ways to bring glory to Himself and save souls. Someone once told me that everything we learn in life helps prepare and train us for God’s ultimate plan in our lives. This is certainly true in the lives of Bible “greats” like Joseph and Moses.

In the event that I do end up under an administration that kills my creativity, I will attempt to role with the punches. I will find other things to change periodically like my classroom setup or even something as simple as my lunch habits. These small changes could help me survive a school year or two until I could find myself a new situation. Ultimately, I will trust the Lord to pair me with an administration that gives me some creative
