Tomorrow morning at 8:00 the bell will ring, and students will enter my classroom. I am excited and scared!! I am that way every year, and I guess if I were not that way then I would need to rethink my career as a teacher. To be honest, my classroom is NOT where I want it to be in regards to clean, organized, and decorated. But you know what, it will be OK. I hope my students are excited for a new year too!!
As I prepared for this year and reflected on last year, I realized that I did a horrible job teaching. I had seven classes with no planning period. But I think the biggest thing was losing my father to his battle with pulmonary fibrosis. I didn't realize how much it affected me until I reflected. I hope this year I can inspire students and not let them down. :(
I am looking forward to a wonderful year!!! :)
