What can I say about middle school,,,to be sincere not much. While I always try to make the best out of every experience I'm still trying to find myself in the sea of small people who are not so welcoming. I find myself a stranger among the majority of white students who dominate the school. Not to mention I can't get used to kids hauling three, four and five huge binders from class to class. Maybe it takes more than a month to get used to this atmosphere or maybe my "teaching" spirit lies within the pages of literature that I now miss and the adolescents that come in a high school classroom but one thing us for sure...this middle school experiences has made me feel and explorer, a traveler...a discoverer. I have found things about my teaching identy, it has taught me the type of teacher I want to embody whether it be from bad experience or good. I'm still trying to find a place, especially now that I have to go in on Monday and teach classes that we've only seen once, to student's whose names I don't know. All I know right now is that middle school is this strange world that I haven't yet found my place in.
