A Path to Follow

Mrs. Brooksher has been very inspiring to me lately. She has been working very hard handling her busy schedule, and its made me think about what I would need to do to be in the type of position that she is in. I would first gain a degree in mathematics and then take education courses to receive my teaching certificate. While being in school, I would first try some substitute teaching, and then I would begin student teaching. After I would find a job, I would work a few years until I could teach advanced level classes. During that time, I would get very involved in the school I work at by things such as joining committees. If I could do all of that, I would be in a very successful position like
Mrs. Brooksher.

Because she has been so busy lately, I have been given more responsibility in the classroom. For one thing, I'm having to answer just about all of the students' questions while they are working on classwork. I really enjoy doing this because I get to be closer to the students. Another task that I enjoy which is new is that I get to make copies for Mrs. Brooksher. I really think that its fun to make copies as long as I am using the older copying machine. Sometimes I have to use the brand new copier, and its too advanced for me to know how to work without knowing much about how to use a copying machine. I have also been helping Mrs. Brooksher a lot with her grading. I use to think grading was pretty fun, but because there has been so much lately, its starting to be a little boring. However, I'm am still very glad to be more involved in the classroom.
