Why I Teach for America!
I got the j-o-b! My dream has come true, I will be teaching English to the masses. I will begin teaching high school English in Newark, NJ this coming fall. My mom asked me if I had my bullet proof vest…*moms always trying to be a comedian.
But hell yea…I go tmy vest, mase, and everything else…j/k
I am utterly excited to be in a position in which I can truly effect change the way I want. TFA only accepts about 2,000 of the 20,000 top graduates that apply. And they usually don’t have alot of education majors…so kudos to me.
My student teaching is almost over…I’m am also overly excited for this! It might have been when one of my students made the comment that my pearl necklace looked like a noose! Of course pearls look like a noose on Miss Swinton, right!? Yup, that was definitely my breaking point, but no fears Miss Swinton politely ignored the student and keep it moving. It could have been a lesson learned for this student but I realized, its Snyder County, he is a product of his environment, just like me. So when they are offended that I don’t carry stuffed dead animals in the back of my pick up, I don’t get in a debacle either…..
Dana will be here in two weeks, I graduate in 4, and I go to TFA training in 7!
On a lighter note, I got a man! Yay… for Miss Swinton…He’s good to me ya’ll, but I haven’t made my Taiisha demands yet….so I’ll keep you all posted. Things are looking up though.
Hey Ms. Swinton i found it!
I will miss you so much when you leave. I just want to ask you one thing is please dont think all people from central PA are stupid jack-asses. I love you and hate them too, i have learned to ignored them they arent worth it.
I wish you the best of luck with your job and new man!
