Now that it’s the end of my junior
year, I’m left to think about and reflect on my experiences this past year.
This has definitely been the most
difficult school year I’ve had yet, but I have learned so much from all of my
experiences and classes that it has made me realize what kind of teacher I will
be, and how I want my classroom to look.
My professors pushed me to think
outside of the box more than usual this year, and I am better off for it. Every
paper, project, and assignment I had forced me to look at something from a new
angle, and I feel more prepared than I did even a month ago to begin my student
teaching in the fall.

While sometimes I felt like my
professors were being very particular about certain assignments, in hindsight,
I now realize what it was that they were trying to teach. It’s experiences like
that that make me feel like I learned more this school year than I have in
previous years.
I’m really looking forward to
preparing for student teaching over the summer. After meeting my cooperating
teacher last week, we discussed different lessons and what she would like me to
do to prepare for the fall, and I’m looking forward to getting a start on all
of that.
Despite this being my most difficult
school year yet, I made it through, and I climbed the mountain, so to speak.
And now that it’s over, I can admire the view…
