it's been two whole weeks of no interning in the classroom and i have to admit i really miss my kiddos. its a strange feeling; like a piece of my day is missing. i went from seeing them three times a week to now not seeing them at all. i know i may regret this later but i miss their drama....i do. i miss listening to them complain over the tedious of things like which boy they like and how they are no longer friends with certain people because of the strangest scenarios. i miss interacting with them the most and seeing their eyes brighten up when i walk through the door and our random conversations about what defines a "cool teacher. " yeah thats what i miss. i was really lucky this semester to get such a great group of students to intern with. I'm crossing my fingers that next semester i am even half as lucky! This semester really confirmed that being a high school english teacher is exactly what i was meant to be. seeing the faces of students succeed in things they never thought were possible...those smiles; i can't explain the feeling you get knowing you were apart of helping a student to their success. these students have touched my heart and inspired me...so much. one day i will be a teacher and i can't wait for that day.

Teaching is a career that I am not cut out to do; but, we need great teachers to aid in the betterment of future generations. You seem to have the passion, and the grit to have what it takes! You'll make a great teacher!
