Learning and Teaching

SO it's my senior year, definitely not my last year but close, and I am just feeling like I have it figured out. BUT, if there is anything I have learned from studying the English language it's this: There is always an exception. And really it holds so much truth and meaning for my life all around. I may feel like I am adjusting to the rigor of college studies, but as my usual self, I continue to question my ability to excel in the ART of teaching. I have been working with two students this semester and it has proved to me how much will be expected of me as a teacher. It scares me because I know the retention rate of new teachers is low and I don't want to forget during my first years any of the small and large reasons for choosing this profession. I know it will take me a while to get into the swing of things and figure out the class will run. An each time I get a new class I will be better at figuring it out. I just hope it doesn't take too long. I want to figure it out before I become the stark-raving, screaming, ornery teacher (like the ones I have run across recently).
