I haven't posted for a very long time because student teaching has ended along with my time at the University of Maine. Saying a final farewell to all of my kids as well as some of my friends and co-workers was extremely hard for me, but now I have a B.S. in Elementary Education (with a concentration in Mathematics) and I feel ready for the real world. Applying for teaching positions is practically my second job (it's extremely time consuming), and I'm on edge all of the time about interviews. I'm ready to land my dream job! As a first generation college graduate, I've never felt more accomplished in my entire life, but I'm ready for the next step: actually teaching my own class!
I'm excited and nervous all at the same time, but I want this more than I have ever wanted anything.
