I has been a full year since I have posted, so a brief catch up is in order. It's been a year of "Got to's."I got to student teach Kindergarten last winter. It is true, everything you need to know you really do learn in Kindergarten. At least I did! I feel in love with the kids, and had to say goodbye. This was truly a punction mark in the story of my life. Then, I got to celebrate my graduation with my family. I got my degree in the mail. And now I am pursuing "Get to's." I get to substitute teach! Which means I get to make my own schedule. I get to decide where I will work, and where I will never work again! I get go on field trips with Sophia, and I also get to be her teacher sometimes. I get to visit universities with Jordan and help him make a plan for his future. And everytime I step into a new assignment, I get to have the first day of school all over again! I get to be the new kids on the block. I get to get lost in the building. I get to try and figure out the rules. I get to met new adults and twenty-five kids that I have never seen before. I get to be taken advantage of. I get to be loved and/or hated before the day is out. I get to be vulnerable. I get introduced to new ways of doing things. I even get to make money for a change instead of give it all to the university. Oh yeah, I also get to start paying back my student loans. For now, it's working for me!
