Today I started thinking
Because my teacher said when I was present and we were interacting with another student teacher, "well, jill hasn't had a job, so I think this would be good...." (Speaking of attending a seminar on interviewing with principals).
Sigh.
How does one become "adult"?
I have worked the last three and a half years of my life.
hm.
I want to be perceived as a professional. As someone who can go into a classroom and do a good job. Yet because of my status:
"college student" "inexperienced" "young"
I am not considered a professional. Part of me wants to be like "HEY! didn't you start out like this too?!"
I think I am learning how young people are perceived in the professional world. I've been content to be a college student and haven't thought about being employed in the real world or how the real world would perceive me.
Yet this I am learning.
Sigh.
"I just want to grow up!"
Maybe it's OK though.
To have a semester to adjust to certain responsibilities. I will at least know all that is expected of me as a teacher after this. Maybe THEN
I'll be
A "professional" !

interesting perspective. yes. u are right. unfortunately. thats a bummer. i think people dont give us enough credit, and yet i feel like others think we should be ready to be given huge full blown responsibilities. its a fine line i think. maybe.
