How I got here

When my oldest child was in kindergarten, I was a SAHM. The teacher asked for classroom helpers and I volunteered. Wow, I loved it! I came every day that year. When the end of the year rolled around, they offered me a job :-). I became a parapro and really enjoyed my job. I loved working with the children and had some amazing teachers to work with as well. Everyone kept asking me when I was going to be a teacher. The more they asked, the more I started really thinking about it. I realized how much I loved working in education. I had dreams of my own classroom. So, I made the decision to go back to school and earn my degree. Now the time has come when I have finished my classes! (What? I can't believe I am finally here!) I will be student teaching this fall! August is coming fast and I have found myself growing more nervous, actually terrified! Today, however, I turned a corner. As I thought about this coming school year I began to feel excited. I have made progress :-)
