    Tuesday was my first day in my placement. I was nervous about going to State College, so I left an hour and a half earlier just in case there would be a lot of traffic. The drive was not too bad, but my GPS took me to the middle school instead of the elementary school. Eventually, I figured out where I needed to go and the day was good after that! When I got there I met my teacher, Ms. Lantz, and she introduced me to the 6 para-professionals in her classroom. I was surprised at how young Ms. Lantz

    Again. It was the first day; it was the beginning. Again. On Tuesday, January 17, 2017, spring semester began at Nassau Community College. All morning long and, up until one p.m., events, both of my own making and those beyond my control, made me unhappy; within the classroom, however, within the classroom with you, I was happy.
