Easier said than done.
I'm always talking about how important it is to look at difficult situations with a positive attitude...well, I guess it's time for me to take my own advice. I've just begun a 5-week intensive training for Teach For America in Los Angeles and it is rough! Imagine an entire undergrad double majoring in both sociology and education, including your student teaching, all crammed into 5 weeks. I think I listened to people talk to me for 12 hours today about everything ranging from the achievement gap in education to racial inequity to fraction/decimal conversions to lesson planning and vision setting...and I still have no idea how I'm supposed to carry out the assignment they gave me. Frustrated? Yes. But then I thought back to a similar situation I went through in the MTC at the start of my mission. I wish I had my mission journal with me, but it suffices to know that I did it then, so I can do it now.

These are the people who help me make it through each day. Love my new LV family.

Meagan, you can do anything. I know that if our missions taught us one thing, it's that we CAN do hard things. You're so smart. I know you'll be an amazing teacher. Even if your fractions are a little rusty... :)
ReplyDeleteI know it is stressful and a bit overwhelming. I know you are going to do great! Remember your TTL is always here to help :)
