The Aspirations of Children in Religious Education


As childish and cliche as this picture might seem, it fits the model for the Church of the Resurrection religious education program perfectly. "Aim for the stars", that is what we strive for our kids who come through to learn. We want them to get that God is always with them and that they can always turn to him when they are in need. But, we also try to instil the message of always striving for their greatest. All of the students that come though the program have tons of potential although, they may not recognize it. As a person who the children look up to, I am responsible for planting the seed in their head that if they set their mind to do something they will accomplish it.


This illustration reveals a lot more than just a childish picture. Reading into it, you get the idea of a person who younger ones look up to. In my case, children who do not know all that they can do and it is up to their teachers to unlock all of it. Guiding them is extremely important when they are young because they will follow, if you reveal to them what you are saying will help them in the rest of their lives. At the religious ed program we try to do just that. We teach them about the Church and history of this God person who they hear about but, do not know who he is. By showing them that anything is possible with God's help they can achieve what ever they aspire to do.
