Personal Concerns & Next Steps---You may blog about personal concerns created as a result of this experiences in this course. (Please be sure to provide rationale).
When I started this course, I had some personal concerns going into this class. Math has been an enemy of mine since early on in my school experience. A bad experience with a teacher in math in second grade solidified my hatred for all things math-related and ever since then, math classes have been my worst fear. So, the thought of taking a math class where I would learn to teach math to other students seemed incredibly daunting at first. I admit, I could have been more optimistic on my first day fo class, but I found myself dreading this class before I even arrived. While I can't say that I'm feeling completely 100% competent in teaching math yet, I am feeling very much relieved after the first few classes and do feel like I can set aside all of my bad feelings towards math and focus on providing my future students with a positive math experience. Once I allow myself to realize that I can be successful in math, I can help my students realize that they can be successful as well, and ultimately, as an educator that is my goal. So, what started out as a real serious personal concern and doubt at the beginning of class has slowly started to become a resolution to be personally successful in this class not only for myself but for the future students I will teach these subjects to as well someday!
