If you can make a living doing what you are passionate about, you are a very lucky person. I am a very lucky person. Teaching family and consumer sciences is my passion. I know that we change lives for the better, both in the home and in the workplace.
Family and consumer sciences offer students opportunities that are truly life changing. It is important that we continue to be a sound presence in the education field. We must be strong advocates for our programs locally and nationally. We must prepare others to enter this exciting profession. We can help them find that passion within. We must stand firmly with all career and technical educators to let others know we do it skillfully and we do it right.
In the FCCLA we state, “We are the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. We face the future with warm courage and high hope.” As we look ahead, we should do the same. We have much to be proud of and much to look forward to.
