Over the past two years being an intern has had its ups and downs. Sometimes I'm certain that I want to be a teacher because I love being able to talk to the children and help them with their struggles. I know I want to do something with kids but I'm not sure if teaching is for me. What i've learned about myself is that i'm not very good at getting in front of a classroom and being confident enough to teach children, I often doubt my self and get nervous. But when I have one on one time with them I can easily talk to them with confidence. I often have thoughts of being a counselor because I feel like I would be better at that then teaching. Ready set teach has been an amazing experience and really made me realize that counseling is probably what I want to do instead of teaching.
My feelings as I departed from my class was definitely bitter sweet. I know I will miss them dearly but i'm glad we made it through the year. I have gotten so close to all my students this year and it was extremely tear jerking. I will remember them forever.
