Well…here goes nothing! As I get closer and closer to actually starting student
teaching I can’t help but have a million things on my mind! I also have family and friends all over
the place so I figured it might be fun to collect all my thoughts into this
blog so I can share them with everyone at once. Please don’t mind my rambling ;)!
Something that keeps running through my mind is how
bittersweet all of this is! I am
going to miss all of my friends that are still at school working on their
degrees, I am also going to miss all of my classmates that are going to be student
teaching. We had so much fun
during class every single day so it is going to be tough to go through this
experience without them right by my side!
It is also quite a bit frightening for me to think about it almost being
time for interviewing for actual positions and joining the “real world.” Nevertheless, I am SO excited to be
able to get started on this part of my life. I feel like it has all just been a dream and an aspiration
for so long and now it is finally coming to life! I love children!
I can’t wait to be able to work with them every single day!!
There are definitely a lot of worries at this time! I keep waking up in the middle of the
night and just thinking over scenarios and wondering what will my student
teaching be like! I honestly worry
about the strangest things. Where
will I eat lunch? What if I get
there on the first day before my teacher does? What am I going to wear? What if I oversleep!?
How many names am I going to have to remember? Where will I go to the bathroom?! Seriously…who worries about that? I think that once I actually get started everything will be
a lot less stressful and I will be way less anxious. I just have to make it through these next couple of days and
then I can finally get started!
This is what is written in a small picture frame I got from
Alec, I read it every morning…and I have to keep it in mind in the next few
days and weeks!
