thanks man i truly appreciate it.  I made this career change to help make a difference and part of me is wondering if i have the experience to handle a tough school right out of the game but at the same time, nothing else in my life i waited till i was "ready", i just jumped in with both feet.  These kids though come from backgrounds and experiences that no kid should have but maybe, just maybe i can offer some sort of stability in an otherwise crazy life.

You bring a fresh set of eyes and life experience to the classroom. Those are valuable assets. I expect you to do very well.

Well, it has happened.  After starting my Masters degree for teaching almost 2 years ago I can say that one part of my life is ending and another is beginning.  I was offered, and i subsequently accepted, a position in an elementary school as a 4th grade teacher here in the city of Richmond.  The school is probably the toughest elementary school around as it basically serves 4housing projects.  I was told by a few teacher friends that it is a tough group of kids for sure but the administration was good.  I had an initial interview with the assistant principal which went well and then a follow up yesterday with the same assistant principal and 2 of the teachers.  We had a great conversation and i felt that the support system would be there, especially since i am a new teacher and in a tough school. 

 

Anyways, just thought i would share with all of my virtual friends on here.  I am sure after a few weeks i will post up some more of the crazy stuff i will see because from what those teachers told me, something ridiculous happens every single day....
