One Word: Bittersweet

         Overall, I completely loved this experience. It was an opportunity that I would not give up for anything. I met so many great students and teachers that really inspired me and cemented my dream to become a teacher filled with compassion, encouragement, and pride in my student’s. Along with learning from the student’s and teachers I learned from myself the things I would have to offer my classes in the future, and the things I needed to work on. I realized that there is a lot more to teaching than just walking into a classroom and teaching students. The job of a teacher is to show the students what they are capable of, to help them discover and pursue their dreams, and to allow them to explore the many different experiences life has to offer, and gain knowledge about themselves and the world at the same time. I truly took a lot away from this experience and it has made me even more eager to complete my future observations throughout the next few years of college and through my career. My journey has just begun, and I cannot wait to see where this path leads me!
