I was amazed once again at how interesting today’s class was. I have never been in a class where I am looking forward to the next class. I usually don’t really like going to class but so far I feel the complete opposite. Right after I got out of class I just thought to myself “wow, I cannot wait to be a teacher” I think that was the first time in my life I have ever thought and said that.

I learned so many things in today’s class. I learned how to be a good teacher, how to deal with certain situations etc. I loved, loved the panel discussion activity. I thought it was very creative and I believe that it helped a lot of people and answered a lot of questions. I am so excited to teach and make a difference in the children’s lives. I don’t think I have ever been so anxious and excited to work hard in school that way I can do what I love doing and teach. Thank you for coming up with these amazing activities that have opened my eyes in so many ways. This is officially my favorite class!
