This week I have been given an unexpected opportunity. I will be teaching part-time at North Davis Jr. High; I will be a Norseman. I will be teaching 8th & 9th graders. My classes will include FACS exploration (code for Home Ec. for 8th grade) and 9th clothing.
I wasn't looking for this job, thought my college major was near extinction, was looking in many other directions for opportunities.
I know this will be a challenge but I keep remembering how Julia Child talked about being "fearless" as she entered Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. So, I too, will be fearless and hope to help some young 8th or 9th grader gain an appreciation for Family & Consumer Sciences. I will also challenge them with this nugget...
