Well Bloggers,
I can't believe it I'm a little over half way down with my student teaching. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was panicking over the start of this adventure and my first meeting with Coach. Shortly after my first encounters of the student teaching kind my fears were rested aside I continued to dive head first into the cut throat world of public education. Now that I am well over half down, I spend my days with my head frantically spinning when I think of what lies ahead in my life journey. With applications and requirements for Grad school, registration for next semester, and no idea where my life is going, I'm more than a little stressed out. And since I become incredibly depressed when I think about leaving my students at the beginning of December, I have decided to place a lot of faith into God's hands and sit back, relax, and enjoy the last half of student teaching. I have learned so many lessons that I never dreamed of learning. I have seen poverty and desperation on a level that I never even realized existed in the US, I have seen children overcome hurdles and obstacles that no one let alone a teenager should face. I have seen children make leaps and bounds of progress solely because for the first time someone has been paying attention to them. I have also learned about homecomings, and bad first dates, celebrated college acceptances and 16th Birthdays. I have watched the kids eyes light up when I tell them the whole class passed hte exam. The Good most certainly outweighs the bad and I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything. So while I am not sure where my life is heading or where I will be in the future, for now I know that I am happy and excited to be an educator.
I pose this questions to you my blog reading friends, are you genuinely, deep down excited about what you will be doing each day with your major?
Peace and Blessings,
Kjo
