The trip to the Arts was a great experience. I enjoyed it all and I was extremely impressed. The poetry reading by Jasmine really blew me away. I was so impressed with her performance and could not believe that she was only in high school. It was a great way to introduce the orientation and grab our attention.
Talking to the younger teachers was a great help and I really enjoyed myself. They all seemed to have great information for us and explained things and put things into perspective that you might not learn in a college classroom. Teaching is an important thing and you should be in the major because of your love and desire to teach younger students. Many believe it is the easy way out and the simple thing to do, but it requires a lot of extra work outside of the classroom and you really have to love what you do in order to connect with the students.
I'm excited to go back and learn more and meet more of the students. It seems like it is going to be a great experience and that we are all going to learn a lot. The students all seem to really enjoy where they are and are making the best of their education and it should be a great environment to observe and learn more about.
