Today was an awesome day!! Don't you just love those?!

Being a teacher is seriously the most amazing career! I find myself jumping out of bed to go into the college and teach my wonderful students.

They challenge me and make me strive, everyday, to be better at what I do. Today was a very special day. My student and Student Education Association board member, decided a while back, that she wanted to create a day where high school students from the county public schools would come into our college, watch an EDU lesson, tour the college, learn about our programs, etc. After a lot of planning (and support from our amazing faculty), today was the day. My part was getting to teach my regularly scheduled EDU 211: Educational Psychology class, but with the high school students joining us. It was SO much fun. They were a great group and the students thrived. I was also present for a student panel that consisted of our EDU students and they were tremendous! I was so proud of them. One of the high school students asked the panel, "what made you want to become a teacher?" One panel member, my previous student, said that he went to college wanting to persue a different career. Then, he decided to try an education class and it happened to be mine. He said, Dr.____ is, and I am not just saying this because she is here, an excellent educator and after taking her class, I am sure I want to be a high school English teacher." Being able to hear, out loud, that I helped to play a major role in helping a student find the route of becoming a teacher, was enough to warm my heart for years to come!
