A Long Day

The alarm went off at 6am. After a quick shower and breakfast I headed off to my first day as a student teacher at Huron High School. And what a day it would turn out to be. The first six hours went by quickly as the students were incredibly enthusiastic and I was running on adrenaline. However, things quickly turned after I realized I could not simply return home after a day of teaching. Instead, I quickly scurried over to the UofM for night classes. Finally, at 8:30pm I returned home, but the work was far from over. Upon opening my email I found my inbox flooded with emails from students with questions about their homework that was due the next day. Over the next hour I attempted to answer their questions as best as possible. Finally, the day ended with a quick dinner, preparation for the next day and a welcomed nights rest.

Needless to say, this was an eye-opening day. Although I was eager to help my students, I did not realize the amount of effort that goes into a single day. It was truly a day to remember.
