I feel exhausted, but what an exciting day I have had! It is official, no turning back, really truly reality - I am a [student] teacher. I think the reality [and the responsibility] have yet to settle in. I couldn't have asked for a better situation to be in, I just love the school I have been placed in. It is something only the Lord could have arranged for me. My cooperating teacher is just amazing. She is an incredible teacher and I already feel so comfortable with her. I really feel I am going to learn so very much from her and all the wonderful students in my classroom!
The students are amazing and constantly telling me hilarious things. Today, as I was helping a student get her mittens on and coat zipped for recess told me that she was glad she could have two teachers because now when she is the last person ready for recess she doesn't have to be alone. This little girl has already touch my heart. And so have many of the other students. All of them are dear and I am so thankful for this opportunity to touch their lives.
The desire of my heart is that I am able to be a light to these little children and hope that they are able to see the love of Christ in me. It truly is my deepest desire for this whole experience. I figure the details of teaching will all work themselves out, but more than anything I want my heart to be in the right place.
Like I said, I am exhausted. I'm off to write a letter to the parents of my students and then to bed before I fall over dead!
