Today was my last formal day of observations before I start student teaching on Monday (yay. Yay. YAY). The next 16 weeks will be an intense time of me "playing" teacher and learning from someone who is already in the profession. I'm really excited to get started because this is something I've been working hard at for the past two years.

That said: this semester will take a lot out of me. I'll be doing all the work of a teacher without getting paid. I'll be investing in kids' lives and learning what it means to reach out to and connect with them on an educational level. Sounds easy enough...

I'm hoping to be better about keeping up with this blog from here on out...I'm asking that you (my creeper friends) would help to hold me accountable to some things during this time.

My prayer this semester is that:
      -I would seek out wholeheartedly what His plan for me is...no reservations. no regrets.
     -God would take me and turn me into the teacher he wants me to be.
     -I would be so in love with the kids placed in my path.
     -I would make it my ministry to serve them in whatever capacity I can.
     -all the work and time that has been put into getting to this point would not be in vain. 

love.
