Re: When did you really start to LOVE teaching?
Posted by T2 on 11/09/07
I've always loved teaching. I had a fantastic student
teaching experience and, like you, I was eager to start my
first job. My first job was not my ideal either; it was a
BSI position where I worked mostly in a pull-out situation.
I cried for the first week of school because I did not have a
class of my own like I had hoped.
My efforts were noticed and I was given my own classroom
during my second year. I truly love what I do; it is a
passion of mine. I worked briefly in marketing/advertising
before going to school to become a teacher (not alternate
route). I think that plays a part in it for me. I've seen
the "other side" and for me, the grass was not green.
Get through your first year - it's always the toughest. Not
having the grade you want and a long commute are probably
affecting how you feel. Good luck!
