In one short week, my entire outlook on being a teacher morphed drastically. Until this time, I had an idea of what it was going to be like as a music teacher. These thoughts were simple and practical. Never did I realize how exhausting, time-consuming, stressful, and amazing it would actually be. This week helped me reflect upon my philosophy of music education. It also allowed me to work on certain goals that I would like to attain before I accept my first teaching position. The experience was
When I first walked into class I was a little nervous, but when the lecture began and the rules were stated I realized that it wasn’t that bad and that high school English is similar to college. English for me has always been one of the hardest subject for me, I always had to struggle in English classes, due to that circumstance I become more prepared for bigger phases ahead which make this year very important to me since it's a fresh start.

completing English 1101, I expected English 1102 to be easier. When I started doing the work in the class and taking tests, I realized that the work was a little more challenging. Now that I have finished the second part of this course, I really have grown to like reading and writing.
