My Service Learning Observations: Part Eight

While going through this course I have decided that this is the career path for me. I have never felt more at peace with a big decision. I am so grateful for this course and for my service learning placement. I feel so at home in the classroom and I am so excited to start on this journey to becoming a professional teacher. I'm grateful for classes, volunteer hours, counselors, family and friends that have helped me to solidify my decision!

I love that when you find your place in the world things just fall into place and everything feels so natural. That is how I feel about becoming a teacher. All the classes I've taken to prepare for my major I've felt so passionate about and school has become much easier because I care. My service learning has helped influence my decision because I've been given a taste of a real life classroom and an idea of what the life of a teacher is like. 

The next steps for me to become a teacher are to take the Praxis test and apply for the education major program at UVU for Spring of 2018. I have a couple more prerequisites to take over summer and fall semesters. I am beyond excited to get this all done and to finally get my own classroom. Teaching is my dream and children's success is my passion!
