Finding the place where I belong!

I had to take a picture of my classroom crate, I am so proud of it! I have to say that I have been loving student teaching thus far but yesterday was the first day that I had this peaceful calm of belonging. For the past two weeks I have had complete control over my four classes and I have to admit I have been overwhelmed, I have been in survival mode and just going through the motions of what I need to complete and when. Yesterday was the first day that I began to think reflectively about what I need to be doing for my students and considering how to make myself better which in turn will better them. I have wondered my whole life what I would be when I grew up and I can officially say that this is it...but don't you dare go thinking that I have grown up!

Ha ha! Your post on my blog made me laugh! Set it off.... I haven't thought of that in years! We were so funny! I have so many wonderful high school memories with you. We seriously need to get together soon, so we can reminisce of the good old days....I miss those carefree days a little bit.

That picture of Paris is for real! Steffon and I backpacked through Europe in the fall of 2001. It was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back! Paris was so romantic and fun, but so was Italy and Switzerland and Germany. It was just a great trip, and I have a hard time picking my favorite place because they were all so wonderful in their own different ways.

I'm going in search for some of our old high school pictures.....I need a good laugh and memory! I'll email you as soon as I find a good one!

Love you!
