    If you didn't get a senior bio submitted to TCP on time, feel free to leave the following in the comments: Your favorite class, your future plans, and some last words.

    Even after six years and literally dozens of classes with TPS, I can easily choose my favorite class. It is, hands down, Theology Matters with Mr. Gilbert. At some point in your TPS career, take this class. Mr. G is awesome and that class will change your view on so much. As for plans, I'm attending Clearwater Christian College this fall for math education and a minor in psychology. I plan to teach while pursuing a masters in psychology or social work. I'm not super good at last words but I do have this to say: the grass isn't greener on the other ...

    In Honduras, TPS partners with Predisan, a Honduran-run medical mission based in the city of Catacamas. Predisan, whose vision is “To Preach and to Heal”, serves families in 51 remote mountain villages (as well as the city of Catacamas) through medical services, community development, and spiritual outreach. Through Predisan, TPS has a special partnership with one of those communities – San Antonio de Capapan – where approximately 250 people live in the Honduran mountain jungle.

    With the school year at The Potters School coming to an end, Mrs. Adria Day looks forward to her summer plans but will also miss learning about her students through their essays. In her second year with TPS, Mrs. Day teaches four sections of English 1. She and her husband, Matthew, live in Lynchburg, Virginia, with their three children: Noah (5), Myla (2), and Jonas (10 weeks).

    What is the goal or purpose of my parenting? For most of my earlier parenting years, I thought the goal was that my kids would turn out a certain way: faithful believers, godly character, or whatever else we use to measure "success" as parents. However, the older my kids got, the more I realized that while these were outcomes I wanted and prayed for, and that I could somewhat influence positively or negatively, they were not ones I could bring about or manage through parenting techniques or skills. Through diligent application of parenting techniques, I could usually manage my kids' visible behavior, especially when they were younger. And through careful control of what they read, heard, and viewed, I could somewhat manage their intellectual beliefs, at least for a time. But none of my parental "shepherding" or "guarding" actually shaped their hearts ...
