My Occupation

I was inspired to write this paragraph when I was taking a quiz and got to this question (or one like it): "What is your current occupation?" And, of course, being myself, I had to offer some serious consideration before answering. I said student then, although I now understand that that is only half of our God-given résumé.

This is what I later felt compelled to write:

We all have two jobs; as a student and as a teacher. From the day we are born to the day we die, we continue to learn and to set some kind of example. It's our choice whether we remember our lessons or forget them, whether we set a good example or a bad one.
