Today in class as we were all complaining about the stress we are under and all the work that our teachers are throwing at us when my teacher stopped us and said “Do you realize that this is your last class ever?” She reminded us all that after this semester we will no longer be students, we will be teachers. The few classes that we are taking right now are our last chance to learn everything we need to know to be successful in our future.
When she was talking it kind of hit me. After December I will no longer be stressing about homework, grades, teachers who give pointless assignment, not wanting to go to class, etc. I knew that it was coming but since I’m still here till May for student teaching I didn’t really think about this semester being my last chance.
I’m super excited for this all to be over but I’m scared at the same time. I have been going to school since I was 4 years old. For 20 years of my life school was my main focus and after December that’s all going to change. I’ll have a little transition period I guess thanks to student teaching but I’m pretty much about to be a real adult and that kind of freaks me out a little.
I still don’t know what I want to do. I know I want to teach kindergarten, but where? I would love to go back to California but it’s almost impossible to find a job there right now. Parts of staying in Hawaii and teaching sound great but I hate being so far away from my family. People keep suggesting going to Utah but I promised myself I would never! And of course there is always going to a whole new state, but the thought of that freaks me out even more.
I do have a little bit longer to decide but the time is coming faster then I thought. It just kinda hit me today in class. I hope I can figure this all out soon. It’s so exciting but so scary at the same time.
