Today is my last day of my long practicum. Crazy to think where the time went! It definitely was not easy, by any means. There were many tears (mostly on my end) and a few breakdowns (thanks, Mom, for listening to me whine and complain). I had a very positive experience during my practicum. For the most part, things went well and I made quite a few positive relationships with students. I was naive coming into teaching, though, in thinking that everyday I was going to make a difference. There were several days when I was just trying to get through the day. I really do hope that I made a difference. And I hope I am not being naive in thinking that I think I did make a difference for at least a couple kids. I have 2 more classes to teach today, and then I am completely done my practicum! I have tonight to celebrate (and REFLECT) and then tomorrow I need to pack myself up because Sunday I am heading up to Williams Lake for my CFE. I am very excited! I am going to be spending a week at Skyline Alternate Secondary School, and then 2 weeks at Educo Adventure Camp. I am really excited for my next adventure.

Next post – from Williams Lake! 🙂
