I love my JOB!

I was scared to death of graduating and entering my first

"BIG GIRL JOB".

I thought I was too young.

I thought teachers were supposed to be old, married, and more established in their life.

But now I'm doing it.

Young, Single, and yes I'm admitting it: Living with my Parents.

And guess what?

I'm LOVING IT!

It's now just as normal to be called Ms. Bradshaw as Sandra.

I am not afraid to be firm and semi mean in order for my class to behave.

I enter in grades.

I plan lessons.

I suddenly care about my 9th graders,

and I'm continually stressed  

hoping they're learning the concepts they need to in my class.

I create tests

I incorporate different teaching methods

I keep role and 

I have rules posted in my classroom.

I feel like 90% of my job is classroom management

I feel like my part job title is sometimes: 

babysitter or part-time nagger.

I even break up fights in the hall.

It's official, I'm a teacher

AND I LIKE IT.

I know this might not be interesting to all of you out in the Cyber World...

But it is to me.  And I love it.

It just feels good to be in the right place for me.

I enjoy my job.

It's challenging,

But so rewarding.

And I've only been at it for a few months.
