Student Teaching...

Student teaching is something that I am highly anticipating, and the wait to find out which school I will be placed at is killing me. The joy I get from being in the classroom on a daily basis and seeing the curious faces and open minds of the children is thrilling. You can talk to an adult and the conversation will be boring and the same over and over again, but with children the options are endless. A child always has a question to challenge your mind or to get you thinking. Sometimes they even make you question if you are knowledgeable enough to even be standing in front of them. Children are sponges and the way they embrace learning and give it there all during everything is amazing to me. If we could look at the world from the prospective of a child there would very little evil in the world and a lot more openness and happiness. When I am able to work with children it does not even feel like work. It is where I am able to let go and be truly myself. Children except a person in their entirety not by what society says is acceptable and I think that is why I love to be around them so much. They are small lively creatures with a loving nature and a willingness to try new things. Children are our future and I want to be one of the people to take part in enriching their lives with knowledge. I cannot wait to step foot in a classroom student teaching will just be the beginning.
