In the End

After reflecting on every one's blogs and comments, I realize that we are all in the same position. We all have the same concerns, hopes, and aspirations. We all have learned throughout our first phase of graduate education, and our views are being reshaped. I think we all are looking forward to being in the classroom, but still fear the unknown.
I feel confident because I have been in the classroom and I think my experience thus far will only make me a better instructor. I think my views have been improved not necessarily changed. I know I still have work to do, as it pertains to becoming an excellent teacher, but I can definitely say this semester was a great starting point. I think I can be successful in the classroom without the things I am learning at GSU but it will be a much more difficult task. "Education is important" and my experience as a student at GSU makes me realize the importance of this statement. It is a cliche used all the time, but I truly recognize the importance of what I am learning. I feel that my learning experience will help me to relate to my students and hopefully provide them with the same type of relevant learning experience.
