Gosh I am so Happy :) :) :)

         Gosh, I am so happy, who would have thought that such a quick, impulsive decision could have played out so positively for me? Who would have thought that I would actually enjoy my pre-k kids? Sure, they're a handful every once I awhile...but hey, isn’t everyone like that...no matter what age?

        Teaching is amazing.  What was it...a year ago I said I didn’t think I wanted to teach? I wanted to join the FBI or Police Department (don't get me wrong, I still want to someday). Teaching is all about those little celebration, as small as this sounds...you have no idea how exciting it was when a struggling kid finally remembered the first letter in their name...it was so amazing!!  I really enjoy it...even testing, gosh...am I lucky or what?  I look forward to work~sure I love the weekends, but going to work on a Monday isn’t as daunting as it is to other people.

          THANK YOU to EVERYONE who HELPED me believe in myself...those who encouraged me in my decisions...No mater how wacky they seemed at the time...you know who you are :)

          I am so Happppppy!  I've received an email from one of the students I student taught for saying her email said this:

                    Oh remember that quick note you wrote on an index card to my parents......I was so proud of myself so I put it on my bedroom wall with all the other things I'm proud of. I was proud because I was always getting in trouble and then My other teacher said to call my parents then I was all scared because my mom is kinda strict and so I went home and I got in trouble then I was probably the worst student in the class. then you came and I was like ugh! another teacher! (I know I was so rude) then days and days gone by and once I got to know you somehow magically my behavior changed and I got a good note and my mom was so proud!

          It really is a rewarding feeling reading this email...before i even graduated I already affected someones life? My goodness, I feel so honored to have had the capability to even do that.

           My goodness, what a long rant that was...Haha... :) This week was a decent one...I wasn't sick!  Also, our pre-k building got a janitor~hurray! I officially started math tutoring, this week :)  It's going well so far. Monday I started by showing the riddle from the movie "Die Hard With a Vengeance" About having a 5 gallon and 3 gallon jug, and you need to figure out how to give 4 gallons. My kids really liked it. They are actually excited to go to Math tutoring. Next week we will do something with Math involving Basketball (which is loved by basically everyone up here) yay!
