Finished With Student Teaching

I am officially finished with my student teaching. Friday I went down to Provo to complete the last of my semester work. Now I am completed and ready for graduation on Friday. Thursday is Commencement which Elder Richard G. Scott will be the speaker. He happens to be one of my favorite apostles because I meet him while I was serving my mission in Florida. I think that I will just watch the ceremony on TV because there is too much going on here that night. Friday morning convocations will take place. Mom, Dad and I will head to Provo to participate in this event. After 5 years of schooling I have completed my Bachelor's Degree. Times are changing. Some days I am not sure if I am ready for it but then there are other days when I can't wait. Now it is on to the cold, cruel world as my Dad so eloquently put the other day.

Only 4 More Days To Go

I am officially in my last week of student teaching. I honestly can't even believe it. Things are just going so fast. Just a few months ago I never thought this week would come. I couldn't even imagine myself finishing up my student teaching and loving it as much as I have. I have been so blessed to work with AMAZING teachers who have taught me a great deal and made me truly love teaching. Over Spring Break I wrote my entire TWS and now I am so excited because it is over and it feels exhilarating!!! I just have to finish up this week of teaching and then I will graduate. I can't believe it. I have already started applying for teaching positions and I just hope that I will get a call back soon for an interview. Life is amazing and wonderful. I am so grateful for my chance to have received a wonderful education and for my chance to become a teacher. I want to make a difference in my students' lives. That is why I went into teaching!
