Teacher in Labour Shows Immense Dedication as She Completes Lesson Notes – PHOTOS
A Texas mum of 4, Jennifer Pope , receives praises and commendation for her dedication as a teacher even while in labour.
The image was photographed by Andrea McDonald, owner of Rooted in Love Photography and shared on Facebook, where it received thousands of likes and comments, and has since gine viral. Pope, 35, a 2nd grade teacher at Christian Life Preparatory School in Fort Worth, unexpectedly went into labor two weeks early, and had not completed her lesson notes.
So it would be an easy transition for my students, I was making sure I gave adequate directions of what [lessons] and when I wanted them to be taught, I wanted it to be a typical and normal school day for them while I’m gone. Really, I’m no different than any teacher that I know, They would’ve done the same thing. We think about our students like our own children. I’m grateful [people] are celebrating all teachers and working moms. Being a working mom is hard, but it’s also fulfilling. I can’t imagine not being a teacher.” Pope told ABC
Her husband, Andrew, later delivered the instructions to the substitute teacher who was waiting downstairs in the hospital parking lot. Andrea, her friend snapped the photo of Pope wrapping up her lessons and shared it on Facebook in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. That night, Pope welcomed a daughter, Clara, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces.
