Hi. I’m having a great time student teaching at the high school level. It’s been so challenging and all consuming but I deeply enjoy building relationships with students and have grown so much as a person.
Hi. I’m having a great time student teaching at the high school level. It’s been so challenging and all consuming but I deeply enjoy building relationships with students and have grown so much as a person. I love my subject too even though I feel like I still don’t know enough. I’m excited to have my own classroom but also nervous. I have absolutely zero time for much else outside of this. I have hobbies that are significant to me and I want to have energy and time to devote towards those things I care about. I sometimes feel like my identities outside of being an educator are dissolving. My outside dreams feel like they’re being beaten out of me bc there’s just no time. I still have to come up with all my curriculum and do so much preparation and I know first year will be an insane challenge too. Do you guys have work life balance? Can you pursue other things and still do a good job? Any advice? submitted by /u/Outrageous_Reward136 [link] [comments]
