every beginning comes from some other beginning's end

Well, my first placement has drawn to a close...

Thursday afternoon I drove home qyietly in the rain, simply mulling over each of my students and imagining their lives going on after my part in their lives has ended.

I know it's something that, as a teacher, I need to get used to, but teaching isn't exactly a profession where you can just leave your work at the office.

All that said, I had a wonderful time at my first placement. I learned a lot and met a lot of great kids.

I will miss all those crazy kids...

Tomorrow I start my second placement. Since it's a small, rural school, I will be teaching ALL the 11th grade students! I'm excited to meet some more students.
