My hope was to always help others and myself deepen our relationships with Jesus Christ and help others grow in holiness and ultimately reach heaven. I also wanted them to deepen their faith in the Catholic Church. My students knew when they entered my classroom, they were going to be challenged and were expected to give me their very best they could give me that day, because I was going to give them the very best I could give them. I wanted to instill in all of them the importance of being a life-long learner. When they could have that type of growth mindset, they would be successful in life. I want everyone to know they are a beautiful child of God. I feel the best way for them to see that is to make sure I am showing them and telling them – to be God’s instrument.
