Hi blogosphere! This is my first post on my first personal blog! I'm really excited to be sharing my experiences with you. This blog is basically going to be me talking about my life as a teacher in training, and maybe occasional exciting news from my non-professional life. In the fall I'll start getting my Alternative Masters in Secondary Education: Latin, and am excitedly exploring the world of service learning and clinical experiences as we speak (or type!). I'll know where I'm placed for my clinicals this afternoon, and am really excited. So far I'm doing service learning with an 8th grade Social Studies class and a 7th grade after-school SAT prep class. I'm also working with 2 year olds at a special education center on my campus. I've always wanted to be a teacher and nothing is more satisfying than going into the classrooms this semester and feeling a sense of belonging there. I know for certain that this is my calling. Next step: getting funding for graduate school,YIKES!
I haven't been too lucky in my search for fellowships/assistantships. My first assistantship position fell through, though I'm not too sure how adamant the professor was for me to get it, and my fellowship fell through. I've applied for 3 other assistantships and will apply for my fourth and final assistantship this week. I hope something comes up, because I've been booted from on-campus living and can't afford an apartment. I'm probably going to be living at home and driving the 3 total hour trip here and back every day.
I'll be sure to keep you guys updated to what is going on!
