This has possibly been one of the most difficult semesters yet, by far the most discouraging. For the first time since returning to school I have had serious doubts about my decision to become a teacher. The question “am I really cut out for this” keeps popping into my head, and let me tell you, it is hard to get that thought out of there. If it wasn’t for a strong sense that this is truly what the Lord has for me, I’m sure I would have dropped out a long time ago. I realize that my struggles are mainly related to the fact that I decided to “double up” on classes this semester. It seemed a small price to pay in order to graduate a semester earlier. Leading into the second half of my first semester in Cohort 46 I knew I was going to be busy, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Never again…but I’ll be doing the same next Fall. Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away and I keep telling myself if I can just make it to Thanksgiving I should be able to make it to the end of the semester. That is, of course, as long as I don’t die before then! It is something to look forward too, though.
