My Name is Tavon and I am a senior in high school. At at this moment I am enjoying school, but i am also looking forward to graduating. My number one goal for this year is to exceed if not to my standards than higher. I plan to graduate with a high GPA and lots of memories of my friends and teachers whom made me what I am today. Although I will miss the people that go to my school, I can't wait to move on to greater things. Highschool is a great experience don't get me wrong but i am excited to graduate. Last year was one of the hardest years for me so this year i decided to pick all easy classes this year. Their for i get out early every day at 1:37 and as early as 11:15.
My experience in this class has helped me alot. Intro to teaching helps to prepare students for the teaching world. Although I have many questions most concerning the classes I will be taking in college for this major. In a way I am afraid to go to College. To me it is a very big step in my life, although I am kinda out on my own I don't think anything is like the college experience. In my opinion either you will pass or fail and that is up to you. For second semester we will be working with all ages of children in an elemantary school not to far from our school. I have been working with children since my ninth grade year so I'm not as sceared as the others may be. In fact I am taking a child care class now. In this class you take care of children that are around the ages of three and four. This class helps you to get a feel of what it would be like to own or work at a daycare. I am taking this classes so that I have an understanding of what age group I might want to teach, so far this has been a success. At this vary moment i think that I would like to teach kindergarden. Although I have alot on my mind on what holds for my futute. I am very nervious about college and don't feel like i may be ready. But who knows my mind may change around.
Tavon,
Congratulations on being a senior! It is a scary time when you graduate from high school. Going to college helps prepare you for success the rest of your life. If you decide to go to college, give it your best effort and you will be rewarded with success!
I hope you will enjoy being with the younger students next semester. They are a lot of fun and can teach us how to be ourselves, laugh and have a good time. Enjoy!

Tavon,
Why is it that we are always scared of things that are new? Personally, I think you will do really well in college. You appear to have a good handle on who you are and how to accomplish your goals.
College is just riding a bicycle without training wheels. You did that once and succeeded. You can do it successfully at least one more time.
Good Luck,
Esta

I thank you for believing in me for I know that I can be rather pessimistic at times. I thought about the comment that you made about college being a bike without training wheels. I also feel that people are afraid of change especially me. I am more of a structured person and it can be hard for me to adapt. I think that when I get out of high school I am going to just take a semester off and get myself to gather. I am no longer as scared as I used to be but I do need time to get encouragement on what I plan to do. Each time someone like you believe and encourage me it helps me to be a bigger and better person. I feel that all students just need someone to believe in them.
Sincerely,
Tavon
