Day 3

Today is only Wednesday?! What a long, overwhelming yet incredibly rewarding week. I am overwhelmed at how blessed I am. How blessed am I to have so many people supporting me in my life. How blessed am I to have a car to drive and a roof over my head. How blessed am I to have both a mother and father who love me. How blessed am I to live in a safe neighborhood. The list goes on and on and I feel selfish.

I was unsure how this whole TA thing was going to go. I kept repeating to myself, "The beginning of anything is always the hardest". I'm remembering this quote as I plug through my first week.

I am still trying to learn all of the names of the children. It is very hard for me as they all have unique names that I have never heard in my 22 years. I am overwhelmed to see how much they are teaching me already. I have been doing most of my teaching with the second grade group. They are so smart and ready to learn. I try to take their enthusiasm and vigor with me to my classes. Though very doubtful, let's see if their attitude that I've adopted gets me through my "Evolution of Behavior" class...

These kids have seen more in their short 6 or 7 years than I have ever seen in my 22. I pray every night for them, and hope that through my encouragement and care they will see Him.


I recently indulged in a Dove chocolate. My wrapper said, "You're exactly where you're meant to be". I couldn't agree more. God's plan for me is beautiful and evident.

Thank you to whoever is reading this blog; it truly is very good therapy for me as I process this very new chapter in my life.
