TW: fast moving images
Well folks, it's that time of year. . .a new school year is upon us! And you know what that means: new courses, experiences, and opportunities! And I am going to share all of those plans with you. Before we dive into everything, let me reintroduce myself to any new education enthusiasts joining us. A little about me. . .
My name is Meghan, I use she/her pronouns, and I am going to be a junior in college this fall (it is still hard for me to believe that I will be an upperclass-person). I am majoring in early childhood education and special education and minoring in Spanish studies. My undergrad program is structured in blocks, and I will be going into my second block this semester. My first block focused on development of children 0-5 years of age, professional development, family partnership, and infant-toddler special education. I refer to last semester as the "early years" block. About the image I like to say "I drink coffee like a Gilmore," since Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite TV shows. One of my summer activities was scouting small business coffee shops in the Twin Cities. This picture was taken in a local St. Paul coffee shop. For more information on the blocks program, watch my recorded Facebook livestream on the topic. To learn more about me and the blog, explore the About page. Now that we are re-acquainted, let's dive into my plans for this coming year!

This image was from my practicum experience this past spring. You may not be able to see it, but behind the smile behind the mask was a college student wondering, "Why do I still show up?" In this post, I address the nerves, stress, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome around becoming a teacher and most importantly, why I still show up. |
