Looking back on the last six months of this year it has been filled with the unknown, ups and downs, but has truly been the best six months of my life. I keep thinking back to that first week of student teaching and doubting myself about being able to teach a 5/6 grade SDC. I was so focused on the position of being an RSP teacher and that was all I wanted. Then i get placed in a SDC and i was like oh no i can't do this. Well boy oh boy am I glad I stuck it through and trusted the plans of the Lord.
These students of mine have truly become my children. I mean how can they not be? you are with them from the crack of dawn into the afternoon. You are there for every struggle, melt down, happy moments, and moments where the light bulb goes off. These kids have accepted me and see me as any other teacher and I could not have asked for a better class.
Additionally, I was able to sub other classes during this time and even those kiddos accepted me and treated me with the respect of any other teacher once they understood what was "wrong" with me. I have had multiple teachers believe in me and trust me with their classroom and that action alone speaks volumes. They really believe that I am a person that is able to teach their kids. How incredible of a thought is that??
In the end, I am the teacher I am today because of the teachers and the students who have had patience with me and supported me through this whole process. The Lord has truly blessed me and these students and teachers will forever have a piece of my heart.
