So many words and I can't think of where to start...I started my final push towards education as a way to work through a really shitty break up. I was depressed, not eating and not happy unless I was throwing myself into my job as an Instructional Assistant. This passed year has been something that maybe not every first year teacher on a probationary certificate could survive, but I did. I made it through because I love my students, content and team. This was the final hurdle for me to clear and it felt more terrifying than anything I'd been up against before. But I did it! Thanks to everyone who believed in me and pushed me through these last 10 months, I am finally in the home stretch and inches from my standard certification!! #firstyearteacher #almostcertified #whendoesyeartwostart
