Almost there...

Well, I will officially complete my teacher licensure program this week. Although it is a relief to be ending the program, it will not be easy to leave the classroom until next year. My experiences over the past couple of months have been nothing short of awesome. In my best dreams, I could not possibly enjoy anything more than teaching. I have known for some time that I wanted to teach, but I did not have a grasp on the exact reason behind my desire. I now know. The rewards are too numerous to count. It is perhaps the most personally rewarding thing that I have ever done. It's not about a pay check, recess or the summers off. It's about having the ability to be a positive part of a child's life. And for some, this may be the only positive part of their life. It has opened my eyes to an entirely different reason for working...Truly helping others and not just yourself. Wish me luck in finding a teaching position next fall. God bless everyone!
