How do I become a teacher?
Becoming a teacher is a lot harder than it looks. I thought hey, I like English, I like children and explaining things...I'll be a teacher. Getting to UMF I got hit with the reality bomb. I knew they don't hand teaching certificates to everyone, but I have to take the Praxis I and II even before I can student teach. WOW. I guess they really want to know that we can handle it before we get into the work force and totally screw ourselves. Looking up the certification process helped place this together and let us know what we need to do to become a teacher. As the saying goes, "If you can't do, teach," I disagree because you have to do to teach. You have to be able to make lesson plans and communicate with parents. Becoming a teacher is the hard part, but I think I can handle it at least I hope I can handle it.

I realized we must incorporate technology and get the children involved and excited afterall sitting in a boring class is just...well...boring. That's not fun for anyone. How can I be upbeat about the subject? How can I get student's involved? Do I really have a voice? Will they really listen? I hope so and I hope I really can handle this, I don't want to work at Wal Mart for the rest of my life :)
