Holler if You Hear Me

~ Just a short break from studying/reading.

Each time I take an education class, I am always encouraged to pursue a career in education. I'm currently reading this book called "Holler if You Hear Me" by Gregory Michie. The book is about a teacher that teaches in urban set south Chicago, teaching in the "ghetto." It's funny because even though it seems so scary-ish, it really has captured my attention.
Maybe it's me actually teaching, and having taught, in the Southeast San Diego "ghets." But God has definitely given me a heart to desire and pursue a career in teaching in urban schools. Difficult students, and low pay doesn't sound very enticing for the most part, but I mean if you want to be a teacher, you definitely ain't doing it for the money right?
I don't know what I'm getting into, and I don't know even know if I'm really going to do it just yet, but getting back into tutoring/teaching in SE San Diego this quarter really is exciting and I'm looking forward to these next 5 weeks.
