Is Teaching for Me?

Yes! I am still so excited to become a teacher. My dream is still to be a resource teacher at an Elementary School. Sometimes I do get discouraged, because it seems so far away. I have to keep reminding myself that this hard work will pay off. So my next few steps will be finishing up my associates degree, raising my GPA, and taking the prerequisites, before I can apply to the program. I am definitely going to have to work hard and keep my eye on the end goal, even when times get tough. And especially with this baby boy on the way it will be important for me to stay focused and work hard. I definitely think this is the career for me. I love children, and I love to teach them, and watch them learn something new. I love making a difference, and to be able to do that on a daily would make work fun, and would be different everyday. Service Learning has been so fun, and I have learned students say the funniest things, making each day full of memories. I learned that in a cohort not everyone has the same opinions, and ideas. But I feel like it's important that everyone feels like their voice is heard, and it's important that everyone gives in a little. Service Learning was fun and I definitely learned so much from Mrs. Cunico. I have seen so many attributes of a great teacher in her. She is so selfless, kind, patient, smart, understanding, and so much more! I hope that when I become a teacher that I will be as amazing as her. I have loved this class, and it has gotten me so excited for all the classes to come. And it's so reassuring to know that by the time I graduate, I will have learned all that I need to run my own class.
