The most important thing that I have learning during my Field work experience is...THAT I CAN 100% SAY I WANT TO TEACH! I still question my abilities daily and constantly overwhelm myself with thoughts of how will I handle certain situations. I always have wondered if I have chosen the right career, but I am positive now that this is what I want to do. I may be considered selfish for finding this to be the most important thing I have learned. I think that hands down students deserve a teacher who wants to be there and who wants help them succeed no matter the circumstance over a teacher who really doesn't want to be there, but was too afraid to turn around and search for a whole new career. Am I scared? YES! Will I ever succeed without trying? NO! I don't know all the answers and I probably never will, I look forward to learning from experience, and I pray that my students and parents  the first couple of years are very forgiving and patient to my imperfections. I look forward to the chance to implement my newfound knowledge and to hopefully become a role model for my students. As a new mom I am overjoyed as I watch my little one learn new skills and perfect them and I know that joy will carry on with my students as I watch learn new things and be able to fine tune them.
