eureka!


i’ve done it. or i should say, God spoke to me. with all the numbers on my brain, months of soul searching and patients and obedience to God the light finally turned on.


i’m going to become a math teacher.


not just any math teacher. not one of those “i’m going to make everyone love math” teachers. no. i am going to become a teacher of good students of life, math will be the byproduct.
it’s not really about loving math so much that drives me to teach it or to even be surrounded by it every day of my life, but the desire to see young and old students alike come to an understanding that widening their range of knowledge can be rewarding. i am going to use math as a catalyst for this underlying agenda. the deeper issue here is how can we become a good student of life and most importantly a good student of God? the desire to learn in general seems to be the best place to start. i hope to inspire students of all ages to learn no matter what the subject is and how difficult it may seem. weather talking about quantum physics or about the alphabet there is always something to be learned and until the passion is turned towards learning nothing will ever be learned.
