I can't believe it! After almost three years, I am finishing my last class for my Master's. The best part is they saved the best for last. This is a technology class and I have learned so much that will help me in the classroom. Yes, by next fall I should be an official, certified, bonafide teacher. I have finally found my passion in life. Teaching! That is if the student's don't drive me crazy! :)
I have been teaching for the last three years in Robertson County. The first year was a middle school position. I taught both math and science. I dumbed the students down in science...definitely not qualified to teach that. The last two years I have been teaching Algebra I at Greenbrier High School. I can do more in one day in terms of changing the world than I did in 20+ years in marketing.
So, I will try to post over the next few months as I near the finish line. Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive over these last few years.
Mercy and Grace!
Brenda!
ReplyDeleteCongrat's on nearing the end/beginning! Quite frankly, all the people in charge of granting/issuing/bestowing upon a person a Master's Degree would have had to do was watch you deal with and teach your students for just one day, and you'd already have your document of distinction hanging on your wall. You've changed many a life in a variety of positive ways. I'm very proud of you.

ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with what you're accomplishing! Raising a family, teaching AND getting a Master's? Wow! You are an inspiration...not just to me, but to your students as well. I remember those uber-teachers all through school who challenged me yet cared about me. Your students will remember you, too, for your toughness and your compassion.
Love to you! And when you finish...oh what a party we'll have!
