Inspiring People!

Yesterday I had a great experience with some very inspiring people! Meghan, the coordinator of Campus Ministry here at Caldwell, approached me and some other members of campus ministry at lunch the other day and told us about a new program Caldwell is going to begin. Horizon School, which is a school in Livingston for students with cerebral palsy, wants to begin a program with Caldwell College so that some of their students are able to understand what college is truly like. Yesterday, four students from Horizon came to Caldwell and we gave them a tour of the college and had lunch with them. It was a really great experience because although some of the students at Horizon have mental or physical disabilities, they are truly inspiring because they have such a positive outlook on life!

I was really happy to be able to be a part of this experience because lately, my education classes have been becoming very difficult and I am nervous about the future. But when I was showing Caldwell to the students from Horizon, I realized how blessed I would be to work with students like the students I worked with from Horizon each day. Hopefully, my education classes will become easier over time. But I know that being a teacher is what I truly want to do, so all of my effort in my classes is worth it!
