I think, I'm just afraid of not succeeding again. In high school, I was that kid. The one who did three sports, choir, band, drama, oh and was an active 4-H member holding leadership positions, while doing weekly community service events with my church. And I was good at all of this.
College came around and I succeeded and achieved for about two years and then hit this wall that really left me trembling.
So, while I'm scared that I'm not going to succeed, I have so many high hopes with the Art Education program. The first day I joined in Fall 2015, I was met with warmth and smiles, and for the first time in a year I was ecstatic about school and the future. After a couple weeks, I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I don't know if it's necessarily a dream for Art Ed 208, but I dream about making an impact in a person's life, just like so many teachers did for me. I want to get another "A" in the Art Ed 208. I want to put in quality time at my practicum. I want to be a better planner.
Yeah, I worry a lot, but this is such a new experience, and I'm enjoying it so much that I honestly cannot wait to see what this semester throws at me. Pushes me to be a better person, and ultimately, an amazing teacher in my development.
And for your personal enjoyment, I have a word collage in the image of a cat because I am a crazy cat lady at heart. Word representations I feel show who I am as a person. :) Another way to get to know me a little bit better.
