Day 20 - Closure

My last day has come.  I am both excited and sad.  The excitement stems from the fact that I love completing things, and student teaching was my last class.  Plus, it is exciting because I can now go on my spring break and hang out with my nephews, who have taught me so much about language development.  (Anyone thinking about taking a class about language acquisition, you need to have a 2 or 3 year in your life as a real life subject).

Anyways, I am also a little bit sad.  This has been a really good experience.  I have learned a lot, mainly because of my cooperating teacher who has been great.  But it is also sad that I won't get to see things to their completion.  As I leave, the classes that I have focused on are both in the middle of the unit.  I hate that I won't get to see the units all of the way to completion.  I am just such a big fan of closure and fresh starts.  It is really weird for me to leave in the middle - especially as one of the units I am in the middle of teaching was the unit I spent so much time working on in my ESL training and I will probably never finish the other unit that I have been working on.  But it is time for me to move on, so I must go.
