I've been pretty overwelmed with this course I'm taking. It seemed like my whole life was devoted to lesson planning, grammar, and portfolios. Sadly, i'm sure that any teacher reading this is saying "duh Christy its not as easy as it seems" I can finaly see the end in sight. It is sad that I dont know how well i've done with my one goal " to get to know the culture/people." I do feel better about it though.
Today I had my first one on one actual teaching experience with a student. Our first meeting I created a "needs analysis" to find out her level and today i created a lesson plan. It was great, I walked out with a smile and didnt put myself down for the first time. Normally after each lesson we have we need to talk about "what happened" which generally turns into a work on this and this and this session. Today I realized that I could screw up and the student would still learn. I was still successful no matter what I didnt explain very well. I knew today that I would like teaching, its now a struggle of where and when i'm going to teach.
