Soon after the day had gotten underway, with a flurry of activities, Miss DeJesus began to feel a small center of excitement and anticipation growing in her heart. She began to enjoy the thought of all the possibilities the following weeks held for her. She is very pleased with the class that God has blessed her with. She discovered quickly that to keep up with the alert and bright minds of her youthful charges she must work hard and put in long hours. Nevertheless she finds that the bright smiles received when they learn something new, makes all her work rewarding.
Teaching is a calling that is second only to the work of salvation.
Miss DeJesus affirms that her weeks in the 5th grade class at Browning have not only proved this statement, but solidified her wholehearted belief that it is God who truly calls individuals into the field of education. She is more than happy to tell anyone who asks that she feels blessed to have the opportunity to work in such a wonderful classroom, doing such a sacred work, alongside such a dedicated mentor as Mrs. Wehtje. Miss DeJesus asks that the prayers of the local community will not only be with the students of Browning and the faculty but with the student teachers as well. She assures us that they are much needed and appreciated. The focus is to help all students to master reading before 4th grade.
