Half Way There

As I am approaching the half way mark through this semester I can’t feel anything other than overwhelmed. Its not a bad overwhelmed though, because I am doing what I love, teaching. What is making it difficult is trying to balance work life with school life. Go to work to do what you were hired for and then find time in between to do your student teaching, as well as meeting your clinical hours. Although its a big challenge it is all worth it. I genuinely, whole- heartedly, adored the children I work with. I love coming to work every day seeing their little faces knowing they are looking up to me as a beaming ray of hope in their lives. I love when they tell me stories, draw me pictures that say “I love you Mrs. Heath”, and when they get that light bulb moment when they learn something new. I can’t wait to become a teacher and have my own classroom. I know all of the hard work and stress from school is going to be all worth it in the end and only is going to make me a strong and better teacher. #GSC612702
