My goals for this semester are relatively simple goals:

1. Survive- I can be the best potential future teacher in the world, but if I suffer a nervous breakdown during my senior year, it will all be for not.

2. Get better at everything- I plan to immerse myself in my classroom placement. I want to try multiple approaches and test and retest my own strengths and weaknesses.

3. Secure a teaching position- I would really like to nail down a job to start paying off my student loans as soon as they begin coming due.

4. Be awesome- Just because I am not yet a teacher does not mean that I have nothing to offer. I want to share ideas with classmates, colleagues, and students with the hopes of developing a well-rounded perspective from which to educate.
