Learn to Teach.

I am officially a volunteer at a local elementary school! I am doing this with a class I'm taking for my gen. ed. courses for college. I'm so excited! I go every Friday with my class and we help out and teacher assist when it is needed.

The children are SO precious! They are hilarious and so inquisitive, always asking questions. I cannot wait to become a teacher...can I just skip over all of these required classes and get to it?! Not likely...

I'm currently with a first grade class, but this Friday we switch gears and get moved around to have a broad experience while we are there. It is so cool watching them interact with each other and it's you they are looking up to, that's a really great feeling and a big deal. I hate it when people say teaching is not a good job, or there's no money there. Sure, there might not be a six figure salary, but you impact the lives of so many people a day.

I know I still say, "I remember that from third grade," or "I learned that from my first grade teacher." Elementary school years, to me, are the years of our lives! I only wish I could go back. No worries, no problems.

Volunteering has been such an awesome time so far. I can't wait to have my own Pinterest-perfect classroom and impact the lives of "my children," as my third grade teacher would say, everyday! Yay, teaching!
