Trying to be Patient...

[nwellman]

Patience is something I've been struggling with a lot lately. Although I am really enjoying grad school classes and work has been fun, I can't help my impatience. I just wish it was a year from now and I was starting my student teaching. I'm so excited to get into a classroom and am really tired of everyone asking me what I do for a living and basically telling them I'm a glorified babysitter. It sucks, because I know what I do is so much more than that. Some parents at work really blow my mind. I'm with their children for more waking hours than they are, and some of them don't even know my name (and don't seem to care). If I sent my child to a daycare, I'd want to know who exactly was taking care of my child. But maybe that's just me?

I just really want to have my own classroom and to be taken more seriously. I can't wait to be more financially stable as well.
