The Impact of Christian Education
A conversation with Grace Seim
My future plans have nearly always been to go to Martin Luther College to become certified to teach in the WELS, and I plan to minor in music because I believe that is where I can glorify God best.

Through my years at Lakeside, I’ve noticed that there are plenty of teachers super-passionate about what they teach, and that just inspired me even more to go pursue a life in public ministry. [Senior religion teacher] Pastor Helwig and [band director] Mr. Pufahl helped me when I had doubts; other teachers that especially stand out as passionate about what they do include Mr. Doering [social studies] and Mr. Bauer [science]. They seem to enjoy what they do every day; if I’m only half as passionate about teaching, I think I could go places.
With my trombone in hand, I am part of nearly all parts of the band: Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Summer Marching Band. I also have been on the track team all four years, and I am in the Teens for Christ service group as well as in National Honor Society.
I have really enjoyed my time at Lakeside. Along with many of my classmates, I’m grateful for so many opportunities for us to realize where our gifts lie and how we can best glorify God and increase our understanding of Him no matter what vocation we pursue.
Grace, daughter of Steve and Julie, is a member of St. Stephen, Beaver Dam. She graduated along with 103 others in the LLHS Class of 2021.
