The Finish Line is Just the Beginning

Wow! I cannot believe that I have finished the MAT program. It seems like yesterday that I was nervous about even applying...now it is over. Being a student has consumed the last 1.5 years of my life and now it is time to become the teacher. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared to be in charge of educating a group of young people. In fact, I am terrified. I know that I will give the students my all, but will that be enough?

I guess I will find out in a month's time. I will be teaching a group of fifth graders very, very soon. I want to inspire them, push them beyond the limits they thought possible, and show them that learning is about more than an assessment. I always push myself, and will expect the same of my students. We are always capable of more than we ever imagined when we are faced with a challenge.

So, I will keep posting as my experiences move from a student to a teacher. This is just the beginning....
