Only One More Week In My Student Teaching Internship... And I'm Feeling It!
These Students Are One of A Kind
With only one week left in student teaching, I am wondering how I will maximize my time with the students I have met here at the Big Spring High School. You see, I'm sort of not supposed to say this, but some of these students are legitimately my friends. Of course when managing a classroom, the students are students, not friends.
Nevertheless, in conversations and interactions, I feel that I've built relationships with these individuals. Likely because I'll probably never teach a group of such well mannered students again. I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I am impressed with the caliber of students that are leaving Big Spring High School. Surely, I will miss them.
I've Got Excellent Mentors
My cooperating teachers have been an excellent asset for a young buck such as myself. Moreover, they've never failed to give me sound advice and effective feedback. As I proceed in the future, I hope to find mentors like them regardless of my occupation. Furthermore, I hope to use what I learned from them to be a better mentor for others in the future.
Not only my cooperating teachers, but all the teachers at the Big Spring High School have left their impact on me as a group of professionals seeking to maximize their potential as educators.
It's Going to Get Hard... And That's Okay!
I'm preparing to leave this internship, which has me focused on the unknown and difficult facets of being an adult. Even recently, I had a birthday which reminded by the adulthood is rapidly approaching. Believe it or not, I'm ready for the struggles because after all, these struggles almost always fuel growth. Time to rock out one last week of student teaching!
