The Things They Don't Teach You in Teacher Ed. pt. 1
Hello Blogland,
As I sit observing my second to last freshman world history class I have been thinking about what the past several months have meant to me, what I have learned, and what I want the world to know.
In August, I was thrown into a school enviroment that is essentially an intercity school that is unaware it is innercity. The once thriving 80% white neighborhood school is now approximately 20 % white and the rest is a widely entertaining ethnic blend of African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and just about every other nationality you can imagine. It is a wonderfully diverse enviroment that allows a person to see children of all races and nationalities coming from literally every walk of life. The extremely wealthy, the middle class, the working class, and the poorest of the poor there is in the world. It is literally a microcosm of the world right here under one roof. Its truly fasicnating to watch in action. While this kind of diversity was at first very uncomfortable for me I am now incredibly proud to say that I have very little comfort zone and I think that is how we need to live . Not only have I met terrible and mean spirited children I have met wonderful and loving children as well. Many of whom come from the most terrible circumstances imaginable.
These children have taught me that there is more to life than material possessions (not that I didn't already know that), they have taught me that the happiest moments sometimes in life is to get an A on a test you thought you failed or finally grasping a concept that has just been presented to the student. Those moments are in fact truly wonderful and awe inspiring.
I often complain at the end of the long day about spending the day at "the zoo" but I really and truly do appreciate and cherish almost every moment I spend with my kids.
I think that is all for now folks, Ill probably way in tomorrow once its all over, and I'll be an emotional wreck but I think I can hang in there until then.
