Grace Sharpe

Grace Sharpe is a newly qualified teacher in a high school in Leicestershire. She attends Central Baptist Church in Leicester – and her faith plays a pivotal role in doing the job to the best of her ability.  ‘The area in which the school is situated means that we often encounter challenging students and even more challenging home situations,’ she says. ‘I find that my faith helps me every day in this job, giving me the strength and courage to try my best to help every student.  ‘Being a Christian also guides me throughout my job, showing me the best way to resolve situations. I think that if it weren’t for my faith, I wouldn’t have the patience and resilience needed to teach to the best of my ability in such a challenging area.’
