Student teaching is fine but I can't get it out of my mind that I'm headed to SouthEastern next year. I am looking so forward to the learning, to the hours spent bombarding my mind with new thoughts new knowledge.
Teaching beforehand has given me a most interesting perspective I now realize the frustration that my6 teachers feel, and the pressure that comes with presenting information as the truth to fresh minds. Although the minds that will join me in grad school will not be totally fresh but seasoned after twenty odd years of education of different sorts, but the subject matter to which my professors will be presenting me with is much more complicated than simple calculations or the result of a reaction, it will be understanding ourselves and others and our relation to our infinate Creator. Serious business. That has to be so much more challenging, the weight that those professors and thealogians must carry into their lecture halls, that today they are attempting to influence a persons view of themselves and God on a radical level. I know that scripture says that teachers and preachers are to be judged more harshly because of the affluence but still they must feel it even pressing on them now. As I now rise to direct students in the art of sawing a block of pine into a delicate CO2 car I feel just an ounce of responsibility in comparison to what those men must wear in tons.
