So,
I have survived my first week *4 days* of teaching! I think I learned more in the past four days than ever before. I also think that I have never been this busy in my life!!!!! Not only did I stay at school till (haha only 4 thats not bad) but I had something every single day which got my home around 5:30/6.
This is I NOT used to. When I was a para... I did not really care too much & I just left.. came home at 3:30.. watched some TV, hung out.. this week not so much! I have learned to love the students & really get so frustrated at the same time. I have learned to laugh at myself, ask them weird questions that may be uncomfortable (we are learning about self esteem) and be so very productive!!!
I also had two interviews this week :) Please pray God leads me in the right direction to see His path.. I know he has a plan. I would never had thought I would be a teacher at the end of this year.. which is scary but so awesome! Only 7 more weeks with my 6th graders and 6 with the 8th grade class.
By the way.. I really like the 8th graders, one students wrote me a note about how I am a good teacher, so encouraging, but in all honestly the 8th graders care & listen..
Well, we are alive.. busy but alive and SO excited for this easter week/weekend.. tomorrow is Good Friday.. I pray we truly remember everything Christ did for us tomorrow on the cross, so that come Sunday we can REJOICE that HE IS RISEN!!! We all sin and fall short of the glory of God... praise God he made a way for us to have eternal life with him. One way.. one truth.. one light.. Jesus :)
