Kirbi-week 1

I did not know I was going to be an education major growing up. No one in my family is a teacher. While I was in high school I found myself assisting my little brother with his homework. At this point I began to gain a passion for making a difference to kids and realizing what I could do better in order to get kids excited about learning. I believe that a large part of me has a passion for kids and seeing them excel in all that they do. Witnessing kids learn new skills and information gets me excited and makes me feel accomplished.
I am currently student teaching at Green Valley School. My cooperating teacher is Mrs. Gurganus and i work with about forty third graders throughout the day. I plan to keep in touch with my students while I am in Costa Rica via e-mail and possibly a blog.
I chose to student teach in Costa Rica because one of my best friends student taught in Costa Rica last spring and absolutely loved it. I love to travel and learn from other people. I could not miss out on this opportunity. Spanish is a language I have an interest in learning and i can't wait to experience all of the opportunities Costa Rica has in store for me.
I will definitely improve on my Spanish speaking and writing skills. I will learn what school is like in a different country. I will learn how to live with people that speak a completely different language from me. I hope to learn to surf and learn new things to do outdoors.
