Saying Goodbye

Yesterday was my final day of teaching at the preschool. It was such a fun day! We tried to just keep everything relaxed and fun so that we could all have one last bonding experience with the kids. There were five of us doing our internships in the classroom this term, and it was so nice getting to know each one of those girls. We all bonded and became one team.

I made some gift baskets for the five kids in my small group to say goodbye. And I think I won the "most emotional" award out of the group haha. I got teary when I had to say goodbye to the first three kids in my small group. By the time I got to the last one, I had my emotions finally under control. My mom tells me it will get easier the more I have to do it. I have to say though, it felt like a little piece of my heart was breaking.

I am now officially on Spring Break and looking forward to some much needed relaxation. Because of how busy I've been this term, always constantly doing something, it almost feels wrong to just sit and enjoy life.

It's Over??!!

I realize that with my last blog, I failed at updating it. But this time is going to be different! (Or so I keep telling myself haha).

I only have one more week left of college at OSU. And then I graduate! It is so hard for me to come to terms with. I can't believe that I survived this term. I was taking Spanish, doing my internship at Bates Preschool, and still working at Ross. There were many meltdowns and tears. And many times where I questioned if I should be a teacher.

But you know what? I also discovered how much I can handle. And now I can say without any doubt, that I am meant to be a teacher.

This blog is going to be about what happens next in my life. I'm about to dive into the unknown, which is a little scary and a little exciting all at the same time. There are so many questions right now that I don't have answers to (which if anyone knows me, I don't do well with). "Will I get into grad school?" "Will I be able to find a job down south?" "What happens if I don't get into grad school?" Well, looks like we can all find out together...
