I have wanted to teach for as long as I can remember. I'm
in my 5th week of my first year, and I feel very
discouraged. I want to be one of the one's that makes it,
but I feel so overwhelmed. Is this normal? Any advice?
I'm working until after 5 everyday, and I come out to school
on the weekends, and I'm still barely getting by. The 1st
grade class that I have is composed of many troubled kids,
and I feel like I can't do it sometimes. Please tell me
there is hope because I do want to touch these children's
lives in a positive way.

I totally understand how you are feeling. I am in my fifth
year of teaching and I am still there until after 5 every
night. With the amount of work that is being piled on every
year, I don't think that it can get "easy". But take
heart. Everything you are doing will save you time every
