In the world people have many different passions. Some people have passions about sports such
as basketball, baseball, and football. Others have passions about dance and music. When
I was little and playing on swing sets, my passion for children was created. I am the
oldest grandchild on both sides of my family. On my mom’s side I have 16 cousins. On my
dad’s side I have two cousins. Ever since I was two I wanted to take care of all 18
of them. I constantly want to teach them how to walk. With the girls I would play princesses
and Barbies. And with the boys I would read them tons and tons of different books. My
love towards my cousins and children has blossomed into something even greater.
I want to be with children every single day and that is why I chose to become a teacher.
Last year during sophomore year I began my classes towards my major of elementary education.
In addition to working with children, I also love to work with high schoolers. I am part
of an organization called young life. Young life is a Christian organization that gives
high school kids an opportunity for an escape from their normal lives. I love working in
Young Life and getting to know many high school girls. We hang out and have so much fun being
silly and dressing up. We host an even called Young Life club which
consists of playing games, singing songs, and a ten minute lesson at the end. I lead
a bible study with a smaller group of girls. I love being able to talk with them and getting
to know so much more about them. In Young Life we call this bible study Campaigners.
Cam is a place where high school kids can know who Jesus is. Where it is being with
my cousins, working with small children, or high schoolers, all of this put together is
my passion. I am excited to live out my passion every single day when I become an elementary
school teacher.
