Progress Report: Rebecca Carter

I am almost positive that this is the latest I have stayed up in about a month. Making it to 11 o'clock really is a huge deal to me now. I usually stagger home at 5:45 after finishing my aftercare duties to lay down for a few minutes before moving on to my next activity. I have not had a chance to write down anything about my experience of being a first year teacher. I have relayed countless stories to my family and friends, some so frustrating I felt like I could cry, some very funny ones that I never would have believed could actually happen to me, and a few special ones that have touched my heart and that I will remember forever. This upcoming week I will be handing out my first progress reports to my students and I have realized that no matter what has happened in class or how crazy my kids make me sometimes, I honestly want every single one of them to succeed this year with flying colors. I care deeply about each child that has been placed in my care and hope to do right by them in any way I can.
