It is crazy to think that my senior year has flown by so fast. It seems like it was yesterday that we all came to school in the heat of August, and I began to learn more about becoming a teacher. Then the second six weeks rolled around and I began to intern in Mrs. Barnhill's first grade class at North Ridge Elementary. I'm so sad that I only have one more week left with them.
When I first walked into my class I was so nervous. I didn't know what to expect from my students or my mentor teacher. However, now that I have spent nearly an entire school year with them I don't want to leave. Mrs. Barnhill has been so good to me and taught me so much about how to be a good teacher. My kids were all so sweet and I have loved getting to teach them and watch them grow.
After my experiences this year, I am definitely more enthused to become a teacher. I can't wait to graduate from college in four years and be able to have my own classroom and students to teach. I want to impact students' lives and I will. It is sad for me to have to leave my class at North Ridge Elementary, however I hope to be back again here, or some other school in BISD, one day in my future. This thought helps me have closure because I know that it is not a "goodbye", but "I'll see you soon."
