7. The Challenge
Learning how to be a teacher in a wider culture that doesn't know the difference between a vocation and a job.

8. A Job
An assignment to do work that can be quantified and evaluated.
Teaching is a job that I get paid for, a job that is assigned to me by a principal, a job that I am expected to do to the satisfaction of my employer.

9. A Vocation
vocatio = a call, a summons
A call to leadership and service in the Church
We are not defined by what we do.
