During my time in the program, I grew in many ways. I was able to develop in my understanding of who children are and what they ultimately need. I was challenged to write lessons that were relevant and thought provoking. And I was encouraged to strive to do all I could to show the love of Christ to my students, even in a place where His name is not accepted. This program gave me a solid foundation for who I should be as a teacher and a servant of Him."
