This is a poem I wrote as one of our reading responses in class. Filling in sentences that started with "I worry" and "I hope" helped me to sort out some of the feelings I was having about the start of the year.
I wonder about the future
I see the faces of the children I will teach
I hope I can answer their questions
I worry I won't be able to
I feel excited, nervous, overwhelmed
I understand I can have an impact
I can change lives
I want to be respectful, honest, and accepting
I dream that one day I will be
In this audit trail, I hope to discover myself, both as an individual and as a future teacher. I have a lot to learn about my own beliefs and how they will influence my teaching, and I hope that I can come out of this experience a more informed and self-aware teacher.
