I think the next space out will be to list every band I've played in. The anticipation must be driving you crazy ...
In my introduction to educational leadership class, we've learned that previous experiences prepare us for our next job. I pray that the Lord will use the knowledge I've gained through the jobs listed above to grow as a teacher and to be prepared for whatever professional role He will give me.
On a random note, at the training for my new part-time job, one of the trainers showed me this poem. I enjoyed it so I thought I would share it w/ my 5-6 blog reading friends. Check it out if you have time.
Here's my favorite stanza:
By the last lost chord, our director Looked older and soberer.
No doubt, in his mind's ear Some band somewhere
In some music of some Sphere
Was striking a note as pure As the wishes of Franz Schubert,
But meanwhile here we were: A lesson in everything minor,
Decomposing our first composer.
I hope everyone has a great week, and the next post should be a bonanza of pictures from the last two months.
