It's been a long time since I have sat down to write. So on this rainy Saturday morning I decided that today is a good day to catch up in my blog. So this semester I started student teaching, it has been an experience for sure! I have been extremely blessed to end up where I am. I was terrified to start student teaching at a new school, with a new teacher, and in middle school no less. I went in thinking I just have to get through this semester of student teaching and then I can go into general ed and be finished with this whole deaf ed thing because of the bad taste Tech put in my mouth.
But then...
The first day of school happened. I was quickly reminded why I chose deaf ed to begin with. I was extremely blessed to get placed with the teacher that I was placed with. She is super knowledgeable, a phenomenal teacher, and very down to earth. Not to mention the other lovely ladies that make up the deaf ed team. I quickly realized that I did indeed pick the correct profession and I was where I had wanted to be. I have had many great experiences and some not so great and have even shed some tears. There are things in the system that do not make sense to me as to how that can be best for our kids, and that frustrates me. I've been frustrated and disappointed in myself for things that I would try to do and then can't. Anyone who knows me I strive to be great at anything I do and to continuously not be able to do something frustrates me.
At the end of the day I can look back and see that I did learn things whether it be how to do something better, or how to not something. I enjoy student teaching, I enjoy where I am, who I am with, and what I am doing. I am super excited to see where things are going and what's ahead. For now I will take the good and the not so good and be thankful that I am where I was placed where I am. God has a plan put in action and so it must be good :)
