Biggest surprise in my teaching experience

 What has been a surprise for you in your Teaching experience?

The biggest surprise I have had so far in my teaching was realizing what I loved teaching grade level and ability wise. I always have thought I wanted to do high school but after my middle school placement I am so torn on what I actually want to do but I know after this placement I will get it al figured out. I also have always thought I wanted to go to an alternative school or teach special education which I still want to do but am nervous on what I might miss out on being able to do with gen ed students with the connections with theatre students and being able to teach speech or theatre and obviously English. But those have been some surprises for me that I am still trying to figure out!

    You will need to interview more places because that is where you will get a sense of the place you feel you will fit the best. Along with talking to friends and connecting to others to find out what the culture is like at the school. I am sure with your caring heart and your desire to make a difference with students, you will know if the school is right for you.

I know that I am 100% capable of doing these and succeeding with them but starting out on my own seems like an intimidating situation that I am curious in how its going to go when I get my first teaching job.

What inspired me to be a Teacher

My inspiration to be a teacher would be from a few different people. My grandfather was a high school drivers ed teacher for many many years before he passed and also coached the high school and a local college football team for years. I saw the impact that he had on my community and I wanted to make that kind of impact also by following in his and my uncles footsteps. I have 3 other teachers in my family  including my uncle, cousin and sister which is something that I have always been very proud of because of the impact I know we are making/going to make for students.  I hope to leave the legacy of being the teacher that made sure my students felt welcomed and knew that they can come to me for problems in school and if they need a listening ear. I want to have a welcoming environment for my students. I know I will need to have an open mindset going into the school year since I have not been in this position of full teaching like this and know that this is a different...
