The Semester Fears...
It doesn't matter what you do...
Because your cooperating teacher is going to yell at you.
And no matter how hard you try,
You are going to fail History of the English Language --- and then probably die.
You'll forget to submit your online reflection on time (because you were thinking Friday?!).
There's no avoiding it: you will be observed by complete strangers that you don't even know.
Do you like being on time? Well, you're probably going to be late for something.
You will get sick. Over and over again.
Your student (or the entire class) will do something that will tick you off. It is inevitable.
The university you attend will probably come up with some last minute fee that you are required to pay before you can graduate.
You will get a parking ticket: there's no denying it.
Your dog is getting old and will have to be put down (during your student teaching? YES).
You may not get that 4.0 GPA you were hoping for. Sorry.
Oh and were you planning on being financially stable? Haha. Think again.
That KPTP by the way,
You will probably fail it.
Remediation is inevitable.
In the end, you will be stuck in college an extra semester.
Don't count on graduating until December!
Which means no teaching job for another year and a half!
And your students will probably hate you.
For all those KPTP assessments you have to give them.
Oh well.
But these are only your fears...
Some may have come true (and some might come true),
But that doesn't mean they will.
Let the bad things come. Let the good things come.
Because they will keep you going.
You will keep pursuing.
You won't give it up.
You haven't yet.
Why would you?
