These first weeks of school have certainly been more difficult than I could have ever imagined. I have spent every day with my daughter since she was born, and going back to work was not really on my list of things to do. However, I knew my time had come and that if I was going to get hired at the school in my home town that I needed to get started.
After spending hours of crying, I took my daughter to daycare and walked into my first professional development. I had not been crying just because I had to take my daughter to daycare, but also because I slammed my finger in the car door! Shortly after arriving at school, I had to ask to go to the doctor. I was sure my finger was broken. After spending 2 hours in the doctors office and a set of x-rays, I was free to go back to school. Thankfully it was not broken.
I have a love of biology that I desperately want to get across to my students. Over these last four weeks I have found out that it is going to be much more difficult than I thought it was going to be though. There is much more paperwork and standardized testing that I have to prepare than I imagined there was going to be. my students will have SIX practice End of Course exams before they actually get to take it. These tests are mandatory and I think I am more scared of them than my students.
