So one semester is finished.
I passed my university subjects not with flying colours but I passed them.
I made it through my first 6 months of teaching and I only almost quit 3 times.
This may seem like a lot but to be honest my work environment has not been the best.
I made it 6 months without a mentor and basically bushwhacking through the year hope to give the learners the best access to the curriculum.
It is tough, tougher than I thought it would ever be but hey look I'm still here.
This is a tough decision I have to make about my future. I want to stay for the love of the children but when do I put myself first.
Last year this time I was on my way to Bridge House College. It was a beautiful experience but I must say I am so grateful to have another perspective.
If there are any students reading my blog trying to figure out what their experience may be. Please don't try to find it here. You will find your experience at the school you do your practical. Do everything and anything that the school asks of you. If it does not sit well with you ask questions, you are there to learn. You can't redo the experience but you can learn from everything you do.
At the end you will know if teaching is for you or not. If it is not for you that is okay, you tried, now it's time to try something new. Don't give up before you start. The 3rd term is long, you will be tired and you will get frustrated but keep going.
