I was waiting outside what I will refer to as the "decision room" with about 30 other college seniors, all anxiously awaiting the placement that would decide our lives for the next year: Year-long student teaching classroom placements. Nervous can't begin to describe how I felt. My stomach was churning, I couldn't hold still, and I knew upon opening up of the manila folder that was to be handed to me determined one of the most important years of my life. I'm glad to say I wasn't the only one feeling this way!
Enough with story time, let's cut to the chase: WAHOO! With some strike of luck I was placed in a 6th grade class at Leslie Middle School! My nightmares of kindergarten could finally cease. Now I can focus on my excitement and enthusiasm for teaching those with attitudes to spare, sassy mouths, and endless, expandable imaginations!
In this next year, I don't doubt there will be trials and tribulations in accompaniment with the joys and successes, but I am truly excited to take a stab at things like book club, podcasting some of my lessons or reviews, and maybe trying online journals. I can only hope for the best!
