Volunteer Work

Over the years I have had some pretty awesome CCD teachers. When one of them asked if I was willing to teach CCD this year to help her out, I couldn't say no. I've come full circle. So once a week for the rest of the school year I will be spending an hour with 17 first graders. (That will be well over 30 hours of volunteer work.) I'm excited because I think they are going to be a nice change of pace from my regular older students. Today two of them cried through the entire class, one didn't know how to write his name, and one of them hugged me goodbye. So cute!

me: "What do you need to be a catechist?"

Mrs. M: "a kind heart and a willingness to give your time."

 

Goal accomplished: Volunteer 30+ hours--check! 16 down, 14 to go!
