May 19, 2011

My last day at Westwood was one of the saddest day of my life. The students tried to beg me to stay with them longer or come back the following week but that's impossible. Over this year, I really didn't think I would have gotten attached to the children but I did and I think as a teacher, that's what you would have to deal with every year.
IPET helped me discover that I have a love for little kids. I love to work with them, I love to talk to them, and I really love to teach them. Although I do love teaching fourth graders, I would still rather be a pediatrician until I'm a bit older and I think I'll be a fourth grade math teacher later in my life. This did help me choose my career because I love little kids.

Engligh AP test

The AP Exam was very tough but I understand that it should be a difficult test since you college board wants to test if you should get a college credit for taking an AP course in high school. The only thing that I have a problem with is the timing. I really just hate timed test and the fact that I am a slow reader doesn't help at all. We also had to write three essays in 2 hours and I completed them before time was called. Last year, by the time I finished my second essay, I was brain dead but I guess I've gotten better with the AP exams.
