apprehensive and excited all at same time. It's still quite surreal that I am in training to be someone, an authority figure and role model, who will have a definitive impact on the lives of others.
Despite the fact that there are many naysayers about the education sector, and even within the education fraternity, I just want to be able to go along this path for as long as I can, and as well as I can, irregardless of how disillusioning the cold, hard reality of education can be.
I want to choose to be excited about what I am going to learn in NIE, and all the amazing people that I know I will meet. I want to choose to be joyful and grateful for the opportunity to be part of someone else's life, to be part of their growth and development. I want to remain positive and realistic even in the face of disillusionment as I continue journey on in the education sector. I hope I can be what my teachers were to me, and give to others what they have given to me: opportunities to grow and learn to love myself and others.
It will be an amazing journey; tough and challenging, but nevertheless, amazing.
