Where Do I Go From Here?

    I am so excited to become an elementary school teacher. I went into this class thinking that if I absolutely hated it or hated my service learning placement then I would have to change career paths. I shouldn't have even worried about that, because this job is perfect for me. It is the type of job that I always dreamed about having.

      When I came into this class I was pretty set on my decision to become an elementary school teacher, but I was still a little cautious about whether or not I would really like it. I started my service learning and instantly fell even more in love with my career choice. I noticed how the kids eyes lit up when they finally understood something and I realized that I wanted to see that every day that I go to work. I watched how happy the teachers were to teach their kids and I instantly knew that I would be the same way and that I would love my students just as much.

     I have one semester of prerequisites left and then I can apply to the Dixie State University teaching program. It is crazy to think that I could be teaching in just a little over two years. It is exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. Even with all the nerves coursing through me I know that I am on the right path and that this is what I am supposed to do for my career. This class has prepared me so much, which is crazy since it is just the first class in many more to come. I can't even begin to imagine how much more I will learn. I am glad I took this class, because it really solidified my decision.

I know that I am going to become an elementary school teacher and I am going to love it!
