This semester has been challenging. I have had to stretch myself greatly, both academically and emotionally. My classroom, AP Juniors English at King's High School, has been amazing. My cooperating teacher is an absolute genius. She has taught me how to truly evaluate the things that I read, watch, and listen to. Everything has a purpose and a message behind it. As a member of society, you must always be cognitively aware of what is being put into your mind.
Last week, I was surprised while at King's. I was prepared to lead a short discussion on an article, but as I was discussing it with my cooperating teacher, she said, "Why don't you just take the class?" I was shocked and instantly nervous. In that moment, I almost wished that I wasn't there, that someone could have taken my spot and been the teacher. But then I realized that this moment was what I had been waiting for. This was my time to step in front of class and teach them something of importance. So I took a deep breath in, tried to calm my shaking knees, put a confident smile on my face, and walked to the front of the class. My class, if only for a moment.
