It is easy to lose heart as a teacher when everything in life doesn't go as planned. Currently I have been on my holidays and have had some time to rediscover my motivation for teaching.
My first Prac was so fun and enjoyable and my teacher was so happy with my progress that he said he would put in a good word for me if I wanted to work their when I was qualified
Second Prac not so great my teacher was basically absent for the entire first week of my prac because she had a cold which I also had yet I dosed myself up and continued to attend. Then on the second week my teacher had some sporting excursion so she was away for most of the second week. I was then told that I should really think about whether teaching was the right choice for me. Which seemed unfair because I only took two half days of because I had to go to my casual job and she suddenly decides to tell me I'm not commited enough !
Third Prac Highschool, went into prac scared and un-confident, taught a year 7 and 10 class got the disruptive behaviour of two students in my year seven class to stop and even managed to teach my Year 10 class something. Therefore I ended my prac on a high note. I was now confident and comfortable in teaching and realised that this was the career I wanted to pursue.
Nothing is going to stop me, this is what I want to do and I'll move hell and high water to make sure I am the best teacher I can be!!
