Wow. Three whole years. Almost. Next week it will be three years since my last post.
What have I done since then?
It's funny how in my last post I talked about myself back when I was in 4th grade. Now I teach 5th grade. How did I get here? Well, let me tell ya, there's a reason why I stopped blogging for almost three years.
In the process of becoming a teacher, I had SO many different people voicing their own opinions of what they believed to be true.
"Methods are HORRIBLE."
"You won't be able to work a job or support yourself during student teaching!"
"The PRAXIS is super hard and it will take you multiple tries to pass."
"WHY ON EARTH would you EVER want to be a teacher????"
"Change your degree now while you still have the chance."
Ya'll, I'm here to tell you something... IT'S NOT AS BAD AS THEY SAY. Do not take opinions of others as law, because they have the potential to change just as easily as the weather in Kentucky-- drastically and frequently. Some people are so easily swayed by what others believe to be true. What do YOU believe to be true though?
A truly difficult part about growing up and becoming an adult is finding your own truth. As a child, you often follow your parents' beliefs as law. What about as an adult though? Have YOU chosen to become a Christian or are you just "automatically" one because that's how you were raised? Because I'll tell you right now-- God isn't going to let you into heaven on Judgement day because you "had a Christian family."
