Intern, Here We Come

Although I am still a block student, I am ready for intern! I have taken all the next steps to start my intern semester. I have registered for Praxis 2 (next month!), filled out my application for internship and enrolled in the professional semester. I am excited about this next step and I am looking forward to graduating! I have spent many years on my college education and many nights that seemed like this point would "take forever." I can remember when I finally pushed myself to enroll at EMCC to get my basics out of the way! This seems like such a long time ago; I was an adult when I registered but I have truly grown up on my college journey. I enrolled at EMCC for the 2nd time in 2011 and felt overwhelmed. Now, I am at the point of my college career that is bittersweet. I have almost fully completed all my pre-training and intern is the final test. My time at MUW has flown by and the great group of colleagues will forever hold a place in my heart! I have grown close to my tight knit group of block girls and I know we will remain friends the rest of our lives. I feel the staff at MUW have really prepared me for intern and my future career. When I started block, I second guessed my knowledge and abilities. But, as I have spent time preparing each required lesson and assignment, I realize how naturally this comes to me. I honestly feel God has planned out my career that perfectly my personality and I am so blessed that I get the opportunity to make this a reality. I know this career requires a life long dedication to learning and staying current and I am by no means the perfect teacher. But, I know with God right beside me, I can tackle anything that comes my way! If I can encourage anyone reading this it would be to never give up. Remember our motto for Senior Block: "Keep Calm and Pretend It's On the Lesson Plan!" Let's rock student teaching, ya'll!
