It’s been 13 1/2 years since I student taught at Mountainview High School. I taught biology. And while I student taught, I grew out of all of my clothes and anxiously awaited graduation so I could start getting the house ready for our baby. I waddled just a little as I went through Commencement and all. I snacked on a Snickers bar as I sat in a sea of graduates at the Marriott Center. You know, you’ve got to eat when you’re expecting a baby.
That day, thoughts about the future as a mom overshadowed my dreams to be a science teacher, as they should. But at certain moments in my life since then, I have seen that a TEACHER I must be. Thankfully, I have been blessed with many opportunities to teach… 3 years of seminary, many years in Primary, 8 more years homeschooling…
But today, 13 1/2 years later, I taught a real science class for our homeschool club and it felt really good.
I also roped Richard into teaching robotics. What a man!
