Why did you chose to teach Christian education?
I have chosen to teach in a Christian school system because I believe I have a calling to help children learn about the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Why Seventh Day Adventist Schools?
I believe that Seventh-day Adventist schools offer a unique window of opportunity for helping children learn how to live balanced lives: spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically.
What is your ultimate goal for children's lives?
It is my hope to help our students grow to become young people who will choose to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."
Why have you chosen this age group?
Being K-12 certified, I could "choose" to teach children at any of those levels. I believe it is the Lord who should "choose" where one chooses to minister in education.
What is unique about teaching elementary and middle school students?
Teachers at these grade levels help to mold children's characters--the characters they will have when they enter adulthood and beyond.
