1. I believe, Lord. I believe that each of my pupils is Your child. I believe that they are a reflection of Your love. I believe that each child possesses special gifts and talents, That You are entrusting me to help them discover these gifts and nurture these talents. I believe that each child is trying to find You, And that I can be a model of how to look, How to live, How to pray. I believe that my job is actually a mission, a ministry; That You have chosen me in this time and in this place To be there for these children. I believe that there is nothing haphazard about my day, About my experiences with my pupils or with their parents. It is all part of Your plan. I believe that You have chosen me, Lord. I believe.
