End of Semester...Graduation to come!

Well since September many events have occurred. I am amazed by how quickly the past semester has gone by. I have two weeks left of not driving, I am done student teaching, I am done with my UNM undergraduate course work...I am just waiting for grades and graduation to come. This semester was a great learning experience and I look forward to using what I have learned as a teacher, hopefully come fall.

Student teaching was a blast. I absolutely love the staff and students at Matheson Park Elementary School. It was so nice to feel welcomed into their school and environment. I was so glad to be a part of their semester. The students were great and I look forward to seeing them continue to grow as a substitute at the school in the spring. My desire to teach has just been reinforced by the experiences of the semester. I have had good and bad days but that is just a part of life.

I can officially say I am done at UNM. My last adventure with UNM will be graduation on December 17th and then I will await for official transcripts, applying for graduate school at Wayland Baptist Albuquerque and for my teaching license, once everything gets taken care of from the UNM side. I look forward to the new adventures that will come after a short break between finishing at UNM and starting at Wayland.

With a break from school comes time to read, knit, be crafty and do some much needed cleaning of my closet and getting rid of things I no longer need. I look forward to spending time with family during graduation and the Christmas holiday season. Praying that the holiday season brings joy and happiness to those I love.

God bless your Christmas, time with family and friends and the joys of the season, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus!
