Today was my favorite day of my Level 1 Field Experience yet, and it was all because of the students. I got to experience what it feels like to be "in the zone" as a teacher for the first time ever through helping the students with multiplying double digit numbers, and through working on their essay writing with them. I got to see the students go from "I can't do it," to "I did it!" all in a matter of 40 min. It was a GREAT reminder of why I'm spending hours upon hours working on homework, and why I strive to be a teacher. I have been so fortunate to develop relationships with almost all of the students in the classroom in just 6 short weeks. I love the way they all have personalities and passions that make them so special, and I can see that they all learn in their own ways. Knowing them makes me excited to become a teacher because I know that there are so many awesome kids just like them out there, and many who don't know how awesome they are yet. I want to show kids that they can do anything they set their mind to when it comes to school, and that their futures matter!
