It seems like I've been student teaching for 3 months...
It's only been ONE, It's CRAZY!!!!
My teacher actually thinks that I'm her replacement
Which is fine. I don't mind doing everything.
Though it would be nice to get paid for this.
I'm kind of glad I'm doing this now instead of when I was
22 or 23. I'm more passionate about what I'm doing now.
I think I have a different appreciation for the education of students
that struggle day to day with so many things.
Many of these students know that they are different and
they don't do things the same way as the other kids.
They understand what other kids say to them and many
times feel left out. It's nice to be fighting for their education and their
right to get the most of their day. They may not be at the top of their class
but they deserve to be successful and not forgotten.
so many times student's who are capable to do things easily and well are thought
to be more important than those with dissabilities.
It's those with dissabilities that help us with keeping us grounded and humble and loving and compassionate. Without these precious souls we would lose a lot of these qualities.
Being around these kids I feel so close to my Heavenly Father.
It's hard to understand sometimes how or why others have to suffer or endure a difficult life.
Then I think of how I feel when I'm with these kids and work with them.
It's as if the Savior is there right beside me.
I don't get that strong of a feeling anywhere else. It's very hard to understand.
For those of you who don't know I'm going to be a
Special Education Teacher.
So thank you to all those teachers out there who devote their life to
those wonderful kids that not everyone gets to know and love!!!!

it's so funny how we switched roles in our lives....I think since you have kids and have been in the system for years being in and out of the school with the kids, you will be a lot better at teaching that some idiot 21 yr old just out of college that thinks they learned everything in a classroom. Plus, maybe you can handle the stress better at 32 than 21. I know it's a sacrifice for your family, just like it was when you quit your job to stay home with Kat Bat. But your kids will appreciate and admire you when they get older and you'll be able to show them that no matter how long it takes, education is important and being able to have something to fall back on is important. And that finishing what you started is important too. HANG IN THERE!!! ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS!!!!!
