The closer I get to April 30, 2011, the less I feel "old." I look in the mirror some mornings feeling fully competent and capable of whatever "Educational jargon" my teacher will throw my way. And then some mornings I look in the mirror and think "I'm 21. There's no part of me that's old enough to do anything." But you know, the closer I get to Teacher Certification and a diploma that costs $50.00, the more I think we'll never really feel old enough to start anything. We're never old enough to get married, we're never selfless enough to becomes parents, and we're never competent enough to start a job without getting a few bruised knees along the way.
I will become a teacher. BUT, if I think for a second that makes me exempt from learning, someone needs to take away my diploma and keep my $50.00. This blog is my journey. A year from now I'LL be the one doing the teaching and the one watching young minds learn how some math really isn't ever practical to the real world. BUT, amidst the lesson planning and lecturing, I'm an idiot if I don't receive an education in the process. Life should never cease to be an education... and sure, yeah, my life will be spent in a classroom. But my classroom is only literal... Don't we all spend our lives in a classroom?
