Kelly Hall, M.Ed.
Abstract
In “Lasallian Reflection: Finding My Vocation at De La Salle Blackfeet School,” Kelly Hall narrates a vocational journey shaped by cross-cultural encounter, community, and spiritual awakening within a contemporary Lasallian mission. Interpreted through an academic lens, this reflection illustrates how teaching evolves from incidental service into a sustained calling grounded in presence, resilience, and relational commitment. Situated within the historical complexities of Catholic Indigenous education, the narrative foregrounds truth, reconciliation, and culturally responsive practice. Ultimately, vocation is revealed as an ongoing conversion: recognizing the sacred in students, especially amid challenge, and enacting hope through pedagogical fidelity, communal belonging, and faithful attention to God.
