Fears

As student teaching is fast approaching, I have been thinking a LOT. When I am in the classroom for short periods of time, I think, "I can do this!" I feel pumped about it for a few days and then I worry.

What am I doing? Am I going to fail? How many kids lives will I ruin? Am I patient enough? Those are the questions I ask myself daily.

I want to teach because I want to inspire. Kids are our future and I'm sorry... I don't want a crappy future. I want to motivate children to push themselves to do their best, to want to learn, and to enjoy learning. I'm worried I won't be able to do that.

I won't want to be a deer in the head lights when I start my career. I know my stuff... I've made A's in all my classes... passed one of my certification tests (the second comes in May)... but am I ready? I mean, anyone can study and pass a test... am I really ready for the classroom?
