Practicum

After a long wait, I was finally placed in my practicum! I have to spend a total of 70 hours in an elementary classroom before the end of the semester (35 in a Pk-3, and 35 in a 4-6). Right now I am in a 3rd grade classroom. I am really enjoying it, and I definitely have some funny and cute quotes from the kids. The hours have added a lot to my schedule though, and I have been pretty exhausted. Thankfully I do not have a whole lot of homework otherwise though, but projects will be coming up soon with the end of the semester approaching so I need to make sure I stay on top of things.

I am looking forward to the end of the semester, and having a break as well as Christmas! I plan on starting the graduate program in January, and I am a bit nervous about that.

The Gate

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.  The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep.  The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.  But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10:1-10

I'm back!

I decided to start writing here again (not sure how many see it, but oh well lol). Anyway, things are going well for me. I'm finishing up my last semester of undergrad, and it's so hard to believe that I will be graduating in December! I have been accepted into the graduate program and plan to start that in January.
