Miss Sar Bear Extraordinaire
I think I made one of the most important decisions of my life tonight.

I am going to be a teacher. An elementary, K-3 teacher. Of children.

There's a nearby university that offers a one-year Master's program in Education. I am going to enroll as soon as I have enough to pay for it. I need to email three of my professors (my three favorites, no doubt) and also JMU because I need two copies of my transcript. My GPA is a teensy bit less than 3.0 due to me being a theatre major the first two years and not knowing what the HELL I was doing in that department. But they'll probably wave it because it improved and I had good grades in the important subjects. AND my chosen three professors loved me.

I don't know how soon this will occur, but I'm so excited about it. I'm hoping to get a job as a receptionist or something in a school's office until I get my teaching certificate. But cross your fingers for me, okay?

I ♥ CHILDREN.

Oh, and if you are or have been a teacher, any advice you can give me would be amazing.

Oh, that sounds so perfect, I can totally see you doing that!

I used to be a teacher's aid for 3rd graders, so I don't know how much help I would be, haha. The students would have to read me their stories, and oh my gosh, the stories little kids write are so amazing and crazy! I miss them, haha.

Oh my gosh, I want to have students read to me! :D I'd love to do that. I'm probably going to be a student teacher while I work on my Master's, so that's sort of similar.

I'm so stoked. I have about fifty kid's books that I never wanted to part with and now I can actually use them to teach children to read! ♥

Thank you!! I think I've learnt a lot from my teachers; not jus subjects I needed to know, but also how to be a good teacher who listens and makes class fun. :)

Thank you! ♥ I'm hoping to teach five-year-olds through nine-year-olds. I identify with those ages. XD

It really is! For a while, I was thinking that there'd be no way. But I've warmed up to the idea of getting a Master's degree in education. It's only one year, after all, and it would train me well! :)

You SHOULD be a teacher!!! I can so see you doing that. Especially because you are a camp leader, etc. You're already dedicated.

Thank ye!! ♥
