Maya Angelou in place of Chapter 5
I am very thankful for today's lesson. Not only did we get to hear from a poet who is a walking history and social studies lesson, I believe most of us were reminded why we have chosen to go into the field of teaching. Some of us even continued the discussion into our next class. A lot of us have begun our field service hours. We have come back to class with good and bad stories. It is encouraging to see men and women, students and professors care about the student. The fact that we were reminded that we may have nothing in common with our children except the fact that we are human beings is very touching. This is a term that I plan to take to the classroom with me.

I am to thankful for the lesson today. It is funny how just at the moment you might be asking yourself why did I go into the teaching field and then this video was shown and you suddenly remember it all.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. One of the teachers at the school I am placed at is a friend of my family. One day he was not having the best day and he simply asked me if I was sure I wanted to go int this field. There are pros and cons to every profession, but I still feel there are more rewards in the field of teaching.
