Did I mention how easy this program was gonna be? If I didn't then that's good because it is not. (And I don't want to lie to you). Here's the thing...our tutoring sessions, class lectures, homework are all there to help us get ready for the teaching career. And honest-to-goodness truth...this program truly reflects what being a teacher will be like, not easy--that's for sure--but definitely rewarding. I believe that if a person is planning to be a teacher, each one of us should strive to be exemplary teachers because its the future of the children, of the nation, of our generation that we're talking about here...
So this program is really getting me geared up, not just in knowledge, strategies and teaching experience, but also in mental framework, emotional stability and spiritual foundation. I'm glad that we have professors that are truly concerned in seeing us teacher candidates to be the best they know (and some of us know it too) that God has destined us to be. I pray that I don't take it lightly, because I confess, I get discouraged when I'm not doing well in a task and this program reveals many of my flaws, which is a very humbling experience...its tough to face those things in your life th
at you need to work, especially personal issues that come out during the "crunch times." But just like what our professors share to us in class, when your personal/private/inner life is in order, everything else will fall into place, that includes our emotions, expectations and motivations.Imagine that, all I signed up for was to get my teaching credential so as to follow God's calling to be a teacher and assist my family's financial situation, but here I am in the middle of a personal journey towards being closer to God, clinging harder to His promises and experience Him doing miracles in my life, daily...and I mean that. So in all this craziness, this is what I say when there's no pain...no glory, know pain...know glory...we just keep fighting and rest.
