From student to teacher
Cathy (Hahn ‘95) Meier joined the faculty this fall to teach Family and Consumer Education classes—Health, Foods, and Child Development—as well as Vocational English and a section of English 9. She shares some thoughts about her years as a student in these halls and how that influences her teaching. Accepting the call to teach at Lakeside was an easy decision for me. As a 1995 graduate, Lakeside has always held a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to be back on campus. Some of my best years were here at Lakeside, and I had a great experience as a student. If I could, I’d do high school all over again (minus the homework). Some of my favorite memories are being on sports teams and the friendships that grew from being on those teams. Being involved in sports helped me develop many skills that have helped me in my adult life. I am very thankful for the Christian education I received at Lakeside that set a foundation for my life. It was a tremendous blessing to have friends who had the same faith. Those friendships are so much more meaningful because we have the same Savior. Many of the friends I made at Lakeside are still my friends today. I am also very thankful for the faculty and staff that loved, guided, taught, mentored, and encouraged me when I was a Warrior teen. The teachers reminded me that I am loved by Jesus and encouraged me to live a life of joy, knowing I am holy in God’s eyes. Now that I am privileged to serve in that role, I strive to help each student find the unique gifts and talents that God has given them and to use their talents to bring glory to Jesus. As a teacher at Lakeside, I pray that I can have a positive influence on students. One of my goals is to prepare students for life after high school—to teach them the skills needed to overcome adversity, manage their time and relationships, manage their thoughts and actions, and how to cope with life once they’ve graduated from Lakeside. Who knows? Maybe one day one of these students will be standing in front of the classroom, passing on to the next generation of Warriors the lessons we’ve all been blessed to learn here. page 2 | Lakeside Lutheran Link | 2021 Issue 2 | llhs.org
