Comparing My Life And Accomplishments

Decent Essays

List three events/accomplishments from any time period in your life that meet two criteria: 1) You really enjoyed what you did and 2) you did it really well. Please write a short paragraph for each telling what role you played and why you were fulfilled. (Please exclude: commitment to Christ, marriage, having children, or graduating from college.

So teaching is a joy and a love for me, because my main desire is to bring peace, or joy when others reach a truth or unshakable concept. I will spend hours researching in order to making material easy to understand and apply to one’s life and situations.
