SABRINA

As the school year begins, not only students, but teachers across our city face a new year. A family, of sorts, has been formed for the next nine months. Perhaps one of the greatest challenges teachers face is not reading, math, or science, but how to teach students to manage and cope in what, at times, seems an unmanageable world, or maybe home life.

Whether we admit it or not, we all struggle with control. We fear losing control means certain failure, when in fact, they are the moments we find our inner strength and learn where it comes from. We also need to look into the faces of not only our children, but aging parents, friends and neighbors and support and encourage them. Life is hard. We need each other. This said, pray for teachers, not just today, but throughout this school year. They teach our children much more than the academics. Offer encouraging words to a teacher, and remember, our God is with us always, helping us manage in what often seems an unmanageable world! Have a blessed day!
