I first decided I wanted to be a teacher when I was about twenty-five. I had been working with junior high/high school age students in the youth ministry at my church, with my friend Sam (who was the youth Pastor). I realized that I really enjoyed working with these students, and it was an experience that proved to be very rewarding for me. After many of my friends were graduating college and becoming teachers, I thought that would be a great profession for me.
I originally thought I would be a math teacher, but after a Western Civ. class during my Freshman year in college, I decided to change my endorsement to social studies. I would rather teach high school age, rather than junior high.

It is great to hear how God leads us to pursue a career that is both exciting to us and that allows us to use the gifts and abilities that He has gifted us with. What was it about the Western Civ class that made you switch to social studies?
