TOP TEN THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN 9 WEEKS OF BEING A TEACHER
1. How to eat lunch, help 3 or more people pick out a book, and get ready for my next class all at the same time.
2. How to "hold it" from 7:00am until 10:00 pm at night.
3. Kindergartens are fun.
4. Hearing the words, "read it again" being said simultaneously by 26 kids is awesome.
5. That the phrases like "Yankee Doodle" and "ABC" make kids spontaneously respond in song. So funny!
6. Kids think I am funny.
7. Epitaphs are good way to get kids to write poetry. (Here lies Dave who chased a bear into a cave.) They love it.
8. That I can be stretched pretty thin and still function on a semi-successful level.
9. That I can memorize about 500 names in a 9 week period and remember the faces that match them.
10. All the hard work, mental drainage, and physical beatings are completely worth it.
This is the real life story of a girl who became a wife and mother and who is trying to seize everyday living under God's grace and by embracing this verse... "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
