So this is my last week of college and by has it been busy. Well I don't have finals since I student taught this whole semester, but the whole packing, preparing for graduation, and job searching consumes alot of my time. I have mixed emotions about graduating this upcoming sunday. I am excited to experience that real world aspect that everyone talks about but I want to have that sense of a student that I want to gain back by attending grad school in the near future. Maybe not right away because…

So the school year is coming to an end in about 2 weeks.. AHHHH and you know what that means... Graduation! Yup I am about to end the so called "real world." But for me I have considered myself to be in "the real world" for this entire semester due to student teaching. I have been super busy applying for jobs and scouting around to see available positions. From all of this... I have found that it is a job in itself to find a job. I am crossing my fingers and hoping... I know that Albright has ma…

So friday is my first field trip... well not first ever but first in the shoes that I am wearing (aka) being the teacher! My 5th grade class at Earl Elementary School are going to the Pennsylvania Colonial Plantation in Media, PA! I am very excited to go to the plantation because I remember going there when I was younger so memories are there and will be evoked on the trip. But this time I am the teacher which is a neat experience for me because I have my own group of students to chaperon and lo…

Well you all know that I am student teaching right now at a suburban elementary school and I LOVE IT beyond belief. But today was an interesting day for me, well I think I would like to call a revolution! I have been working with my students for a couple of weeks now and have truly had the ability to compare and contrast the life of a suburban student and the life of a urban student. Personally, growing up in Philadelphia and attending elementary school there I can def. relate to the urban exper…

So over the past 2 weeks have been the most exciting/ stressful weeks of my life. Well.. not of my life but you get the idea. I started my student teaching for my first placement at Wyomissing Hills Elementary School and must say that I have the best class ever!!! They are so vibrant, energenic, and innocent! Its nice to know that when you walk into the classroom everyday that these students are holding on to your every word and hope that you will basically care and love them. I mean teachers do…

Okay so as I am cooking a grilled cheese at home right now... I just thought that I would take the time to tell everyone of the wonderful semester ahead of me. I am student teaching in less then a week... ahhhhhhhhhhhh,.,.. emotions are flying high and the anxiety of being the teacher instead of the student is starting to really hit me. For Christmas my brothers girlfriend bought me some supplies for teachers... like lesson plan books, stickers etc. Opening up the lesson plan book and staring at…

Okay so I have discovered a song that is very intriguing to me. It is called "Tell me Why?" By: Taylor Swift. This has been an uplifting song that has gotten me through alot that has been going on in my life. I recommened everyone to listen to it... it is a country song but IT IS REALLY GOOD!
If you have a favorite song please tell me... I love discovering new music!
Lesson Learned- " You say its not your fault, but look how I feel?"

Okay, so many things have transpired since I have last wrote. Homecoming weekend was a blast up here at Albright, from the parade to the homceoming court of 08 to the wonderful float building contests, airbands and much more. Needless to say my whole family came up and had the chance to spend the day with me! I had so much fun and sad to say that it will be my last homecoming here as a regular Albright student before I cross that line of becoming an Alumni in the near future... this makes me sad…

Okay ya'all, so I had the busiest week of my life... this week! Why... I shall tell you. So I have been studying like crazy for my first bio quiz ever, I think I did well on it when all was said and done. But the biggest thing I have been preparing for this week is my Praxis II exam. I am not a fan of standards test because I feel as though they do not measure the quality of students but it is a mandatory thing, so I must push through it. I have been studying forever for it... (aka) a couple wee…

So, it was my first back from school with everyone moved in! It was pretty awesome!! I went to my first senior night last night and let me tell you it was sooooo much fun! I can't wait for everyone to experience it! As I was walking around and looking at all my fellow classman I felt an urge of happiness and sadness. The dj announced "lets here it for Albright Class of 2009!" Everyone screamed and was so enthusiastic about it as was I! Then after the claps and screams faded I thought to myself..…

So today was the first day of classes. I only had two: biology and history. I am not going to lie I am a little nervous taking a science class because of not having any science class since high school four years ago. WOW... that was such a long time ago! Anywho! Senior year looks very promising!
I moved in about a week ago to the Albright Woods Apartments and I am having the time of my life. I love all of my roomies!! They are so amazing and beautiful inside and out. I couldn't ask for a better…

This blog is most important to those who are studying or thinking of becoming a teacher, like myself. I found this very controversial article that draws a correlation between the salary rate of teachers and the success of the children in the school districts. If you are truly commited in becoming a teacher, it shouldn't matter the salary, no matter what you are being paid it should not effect children's ability to learn. I believe taking on the job as a teacher is one, if not the most important…
