The students I have met this year have been so awesome. They look to me as a very serious and disciplined teacher. I'm not the one they look to when they have problems and when they feel like sharing personal information. This can be good in a few ways. They look to me when they want to learn something new. I don't pretend to be their doctors or their mothers. I simply teach and make the expectation clear that I'm most interested in your learning.
As the year gets close to concluding I realize all the different hoops and issues I have come across.
1 - Coaching at NMHS - head of soccer program -
2 - 1st year of teaching social studies
3 - Completed the Glogster class
4 - Will complete the TCI before the classes are out for summer.
These are major achievements this year and something I should be very proud of. At times I don't think we as people reflect on what we have done that has been a huge success. Reasons for that are most likely we put so much time in the pre-work to reach these goals, we don't want to spend to much time thinking about them after.
As I reflect and think more about the upcoming years, I often ask myself. When will I get to reach my goal of being a teacher? Years and years have passed I'm still not where i want to be, but I've climbed a few steps on a stair-case that has 100's of steps. Each step I take, the closer I get to reaching those ultimate goals.
Remember to love what you do, and if your not happy change it!
