Every good chapter comes to an end. When I was 17, I started teaching catechism to kids almost half my age. It was daunting at first but, soon enough I realized that I get to learn a lot more from the kids than, what I taught them. Every Monday they came to class with excitement eager to learn and had endless imagination with every little activity we did. Every Monday from last three years, I used to look forward to teach catechism. It was the best stress-buster after a long Monday. I love kids and I love to teach so both of these things worked as a perfect Monday refresher combo for me. Some days were rough to plan lessons and study for finals and balance work-life but, it was all worth it. I was proud to see my first grade kids from 2014 as they were now actively participating it the family mass. I feel super emotional thinking that, I don't know when I will get to see these little kids again. My only hope is that I added a little value to their life and maybe as they grow up they will always remember their Miss Dias.
When I was a kid. I used to love going to catechism class every Sunday. I loved listening to stories and loved my teachers dearly. I used to only imagine me being a catechist and giving back the knowledge I got and share God's stories. Little did I know, I would get this opportunity few years later. I'm extremely grateful that I got to be a catechist and I will always cherish the past three years. It's been quite a journey and I have to end it here as I take up on new adventures this year.
I'm adding this to my big and long time wishlist of volunteering many more to come. I hope this post will inspire some of you guys to give back something that you have loved to learn. I feel that volunteering serves both ways the happiness of giving reflexes right back to you. Have a Blessed day! Until next time, keep hustling for your dreams. Xo, Jessi.
