Allison,

I think I responded to your last blog, so sorry for always choosing you – you always have your blogs up right away so you are a good pick:-)

I was really touched by what you wrote. It made me realize how many things I have to be thankful for through this experience. Thanks for such a great entry.

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving,

Emily

Allison,

I can not even fathom were to start, but withthe election of our new president I am very excited about the positive changes this new adminstraiton could have on educational policy. It seems that starting with policy would be the best way to effect the most people.

Ali,
I, too, so agree with how you eloquently stated our stage of development. I think the key to our making a difference is to staying plugged in with one another so that we don’t lose sight of the big picture. The day-to-day drama that is elementary school with the teacher drama and comments can suck you into the vortex. I want to stay focused on the big picture and do my part. – Kelley

Allison,
I really like what you wrote – and you wrote it so eloquently! Now that we are getting the field experience, it is easy to see the pieces to the puzzle fitting together like you described. It’s amazing how far we have all come in such a short amount of time. It makes me really excited for next year when we have our own classes!

See you tomorrow,
Emily

I never looked at it that way, but yeah it’s like we are having our little own movement in this program. We all care about education and we are trying to do our part to contribute and change the existing conditions.

Yes, I know what you mean. There is a reason why I wanted to do this, why I worked/am working so hard in this program, with the hope of becoming a teacher. It is easy to lose site of the bigger picture. I am on a roller coaster that moves from stress and anxiety to hopefulness and clarity. What a strange trip we are on.

Thanks Allison, what a good reminder. I do have to wake up every morning and pause to give thanks for the day. I know I am here for a purpose but some times it is so hard to see it through the lens of fatigue or frustration. Thanks for keeping my negativity in check.
