Well it is hard to believe that our second practicum is underway. It is no real surprise, but this year really has flown by. It really is amazing how in such a short amount of time, your outlook on things can change. At the beginning of this year I was attempting to change my mindset to that of a student. Now, at this point, my mindset has changed once again from a student to that of an educator.
With the start of this second practicum, I can only imagine how I will once again change by the months end. But that is life, if we are not constantly changing who me are, than the world will pass us by. To be an educator you must first have a love of knowledge. You can’t tell students to get excited about something if it doesn’t excite you first.
This practicum will be a challenge in that it is in a core class, with subject areas out of my comfort zone. However, to be the educator that I foresee myself being, I must work on my weaknesses and turn them into my strengths. At the end of the day, it is the kids who matter, and if I haven’t given it my all not only have I sold myself short, but more importantly the students will suffer.
We shall see what this month has in store.
