I Visited My Old Elementary School And Saw My Future As A Teacher

There is nothing like walking down the two long halls of the school, remembering everything that happened to me while I was there.

I recently went and visited my old elementary/middle school, and I saw so much of my future in front of me.

There is nothing like walking down the two long halls of the school, remembering everything that happened to me while I was at that school.

I attended that school for four years and will never forget the trauma I faced, the friends I made, and the teachers I adored.

When I was in 8th grade I lost my dad.

He passed away while I was attending that school, I went through that whole year figuring it all out, and I got through it with the help of my friends and teachers.

There are a few teachers in particular at that school who have inspired me and encouraged me endlessly. Because of those teachers, I am following my dreams of becoming a teacher.

To this day, those few teachers still check up on me and continue to encourage me through the craziness that is college.

As I watched my old teachers today interact with their students I could not help but picture myself in that same position a few years down the road.

I also could not help but think about what it would be like if I worked at that school. It is small, and I know so many of the people there that I feel like it would be an amazing place to have my first job.

Teaching is so hard the first few years, and it would be amazing if I had the support of those wonderful teachers.

It is definitely something that I am going to be praying about. I don't know where God wants me in this world, but I know that wherever He places me, I am going to be able to pour into so many children just like my teachers have done for me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
