Being an intern is super rewarding and I recommend everyone try it out if they plan to become a teacher!
Being an intern was such an incredible experience. Not only did I have an incredible time as a year 1 but also as second year intern. I experienced so much, learned so much about not only teaching but about myself as well. I was put with an incredible mentor my first year, Mrs. Brittany Smith.
During my second year of interning I was not only paired with an incredible 4th grade teacher, Mr. Tanner Holmes, but I got to be with Mrs. Smith again.
Interning in the classes I did the past two year really set in stone that I really wanted to be teacher. I was encouraged by both my mentors so much and they were always telling me that I was going to be a great teacher one day, now that my year is coming to an end I realize how much I really want to be a teacher and WHY I want to be a teacher.
Being a teacher is much more than a typical 9-5 job and thats why I love it. I want to be challenged in everything I do. I realized that as I watched how much work both my mentors did. Just grading their papers for them was one HUGE thing they could cross of their to-do list. Teachers teach because they want to make a difference in kids lives, they want them to strive in what they are good at, knowing I can make a difference in one students' life is so rewarding!
Ending this year was not easy at all, having to say good bye to the kids that considered me like their, "Second teacher," how can you do that? I hated having to say good bye, seeing their faces so upset, and them asking me not to go, I just couldn't handle it. These kids were a huge part of my life and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a better class and better mentors. I was extremely blessed this year, as well as last year.
