Teachers Education Program

Today I had my Orientation for the Teacher’s Program. I learned a few things about the different departments realated to the education program at MSU. We did an actitity, but my group was not successful at completing everything we were required to do. Anyway, I did not like that too much because they did not give us enough time to get all the information we needed. Although I did not like that, it was worth going because of five students that just graduated as teachers from MSU had prepared something for us. They each read a story about their experiences in student teaching. The stories were really interesting, and they showed the good and the bad about what they went through in the classrooms. The students had not expected to find a big challenge, but they all had a student that caught their attention; these kids had behavioral problems, or they performed poorly in class. All these new teachers had to face these issues, and with the help of their cooperative teachers, they were able to find a solution. I got emotional listening to these stories, and it just made more clear to me that even though I am embarking in a tough career, it is what I want to do. My purpose in life is to make a difference in the life of kids.
