Today we had a guest speaker named Mrs. Z and she is a first year teacher here at A. From her lecture about herself and the lessons she has learned throughout her first year of teaching a part of me became very excited. I knew there will be some trouble with students during both your student teaching and first year of teaching, but to know that she was able to handle many of the things I am fearing demonstrated to me that anything can be overcome. It is justa matter of having confidence in yourself and what you are teaching, and the rest will work itself out over time. I really appreciated Mrs. Z coming an talking to our class about the expectations of being a first year teacher. Now I feel like I have some knowledge that should help me in the future.
