The past few weeks have left me feeling overwhelmed, and maybe a little unconfident in my ability to be a good teacher in the future. I feel strongly about teaching, but taking all of these classes on how to teach grammar and how to teach writing and how to teach reading and trying to remember all of the bazillion things we talk about in class...it's just kind of a lot to handle.
Today I went to an actual classroom (Springville Junior High) for the first time this semester, and I feel soooo much better. I watched my mentor teacher and thought "I can do this," "this will be fun," and "this will be hard, sometimes, but this will be worth it."

you really will be a good teacher, emily. i told you, i want you to teach my children. that way they can witness your dreamy hair in action. but really...you got this.
Yay Emily! You are going to be a GREAT teacher! It's in your blood :) But mostly, I think when you want something so bad it even makes you better at it. It wish you could have been my teacher in Jr High or High School! I love you xxoo
Being in the school is soooo much better than sitting in theory classes. Just remember, theory is the ideal and there is no way to do it all at once... so keep going, you'll be amazing! We should start a school... you can teach english and I'll teach science.
It's totally worth it. I'm student teaching right now and it is almost as good as being an EFY counselor. I'm sure that it's going to get tougher, but it's still awesome.
