Yeah so I am going to be a music teacher.

Yeah so I was helping my voice teacher today at the elementary school where she teaches, and I also got to sit in on a class she teaches at URI. One of the things she said to her students was that she had the best job in the world. I thought I would blog on this because it ties into what I wrote last night about children. Being a teacher, is a great job. Yes it has its ups and downs, but you can affect change in a child or young persons life. She mentioned how she gets these little kids who come in and say, i got a boo boo, or come in and give her a hug and say i love you. Being a teacher can be gratifying. I really feel a confirmation where the whole teaching thing is concerned. No matter where I am, I am teaching. My teacher is teaching me to teach. In my class at CCRI, i end up teaching sometimes. So now that I know what I am going to do, I have to find a college, I tried doing a search for colleges on college board.com, it was like narrowed down to 600 or something. I really don't want to restrict myself too much but it is just so overwhelming, and I keep on looking at one college, and i don't know if it is bcuz it is the only one i am familiar with...and i am just so overwhelmed with the rest of them, or if i really should go there. The problem with going to college in another state, i can't get any student loans bcuz i am not 18. I have to get a full ride scholarship....that is a pretty big dream... I have to chose a college b4 the end of the year...and i have to apply. This is all pretty overwhelming, i'm about to tear my hair out i think. There are so many options...it is really very overwhelming.

*Conry statement warning* Children are our future.

This morning at church, a little 5 year old girl was looking at me. And so I smiled at her cuz she is just so cute. When I realized she was still looking at me, I did a mental check..."Wait, am I doing what I am supposed to be doing? Am I missing anything." Children are so impressionable. When they see someone praying or worshiping, they will follow that example. They may or may not know what they are doing, but they will follow an example that is set. We as believers need to make sure that any example set is a good one. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me." These little ones are so important. Last week at Apponaug, all of the students and the staff went up to pray for someone who was at a bible study they had going on. It was really awesome. That is the only word I can use to describe it. All of the students from 4 (believe it or not) to 17, all crowding around this older man who isn't able to use his hands, praying for him, and laying hands on him. After we prayed for him, this man looked at this little 4 year old boy, and he said,"None of us may see this, but you are going to be a big preacher someday." Can I just say, how awesome a thing that is...I mean, I am going to write down his name so I can Google it in the future. Okay...I think I am done with my ramblings about children, and examples.... :)
