Up to now!!

Wow!!! I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged. I have been quite busy with student teaching. I made it through my first placement and almost done with my second. I can't believe how fast time flies. Third grade was a challenge for me but I made it. I am in kindergarten now...the place where I love and want to be. I have found where my heart is. I yearn for those early learners and want to help them so much. I just hope to be effective and help them before they move on to first grade. I know that I haven't been their teacher all year, but I get them for 3 weeks and I can call them my class.

I graduate in no time. I can't believe. I am going to be a college educated person. The first one in my immediate family and I hope to show my kids that it is a benefit to go to college. College has been a long road for me. I started right out of high school, going to Belmont for a year and Austin Peay for a year. During the year at APSU, I got married, and pregnant. So school feel by the way side for a long time. Once, Andrew got older I knew that I needed an outlet and to finish what I had started so many years before. I went back to Vol State and found my niche. I think I fit in better there than I did right out of high school. It was wonderful and I graduated with honors! Honors... I couldn't believe it! Then onto the TSU program at Vol State. This program was sent by God for me to be able to complete my bachelors degree. God placed me in this program with all the right people that would help and support my goal. Which they had the same goal but we were in the same situations and understood when no one else could. So I truly believe that God placed me with the right people at the right time in my life to change my life for the better. I can't believe how much I have changed and learned in the past 2 years. It staggers me sometime to think back.
Well, I have rambled on way to long, but I wanted to write down how things have been going and where I am about to be.

Thanks for reading
