Teaching presented significant challenges, as many students struggled with emotional issues, appearing weary and burdened. Their vulnerability was evident, while others exhibited unruly behavior. In this context, the teaching philosophy was inclusive, reflecting the teachings of Jesus who embraced everyone without exclusion. The difficulties of the role sometimes led to frustration, leaving the teacher wondering about the deeper reasoning behind their struggles.
Despite the tough days, there was a profound sense of support felt throughout the teaching experience, almost as if Jesus was present, offering encouragement. This spiritual connection provided strength and motivation to push through the hardships of teaching, even if it meant navigating the trials without the comfort of sharing snacks like Doritos. The reflection illustrates the deep intertwining of faith and the challenges faced in the educational environment.
