I am the worst student ever... but turning into a great teacher!

So my gmail account, for some reason, kept sending the emails for the blog to my spam folder and I couldn't figure anything out. I probably should've emailed Jim about it, but I've been the busiest person in the world.

So as for my life so far...
I participated in the Spring Graduation Ceremony in May and then drove the 12 hours back to Plano, Texas. Man am I glad to be back here! I started my summer class here at the community college and passed (one more thing off my list). I've been working part time at the American Eagle at the mall here and working as a nanny until my internship started (which was Monday).

I am teaching Summer School at Ursuline Academy in Dallas which is an all girls Catholic school. I am teaching Speech and Theatre. I love it! The girls are really sweet and want to make sure they have everything perfect. I was completely clueless coming into the job. I had never done actual teaching, just lab teaching for Dance 385. So many of the games and tricks I had learned in school at ISU have really helped me in working with the girls.

Right now they are working on speeches (the curriculum is heavily speech with theatre history and such added in). They are all really afraid of public speaking but here's hoping I can help them overcome it!
