Bad Girl House
The beginning of the school year was both exciting and terrifying. I wanted to be as prepared as I possibly could, so that I would feel comfortable and appear to be confident in front of my new students. I wanted to make a good impression on the rest of the teachers in each building. My days started at the elementary school with the first and second graders. I stood outside my classroom door to greet them as their teacher brought them to me. The sound of squeaky tennis shoes and whispers accompanied a single file line of children that stopped when it reached me. Their teacher said a quick hello, and she then cued them to go into the room. As I smiled down at each one of them as they went past, I was having trouble slowing down the thoughts in my head. With each group that arrived, I had to remind myself that I would be fine. I was still needing to block the thoughts that contradicted the truth. I knew that I was a good teacher, but there was still that nagging voice saying that I wasn’t cut out to for this.
