The next two and a half years I entered and completed my degree in the College of Education. The series of courses that I had to take were a bit more demanding than my previous two years of college. When I say a bit more demanding, I mean it took away most of my personal free time. Do not get me wrong, my experiences were profound and I learned so much from my experiences in the College of Education but I am relieved that my brain can finally take a break for a while. I spent plenty of hours in the books and not enough hours in bed. Even my professors would suggest that I take a break and close the books at an earlier time. That was just impossible. I was not satisfied with turning in mediocre work or even work that was "just enough." I couldn't do it! Sometimes I wish I could and I would even ALMOST turn in work below my own expectations and I would fold and produce a satisfying product.
I learned a great deal in my educational courses. I understand the development of children and the process of children under the age of 13. I feel this will be of a benefit with my new addition in my home as well as my nine year old son. I look forward to entering my own classroom in the future and I am excited on my future educational endeavors!
