I am looking forward to having the experience of being in a classroom! I am also looking forward to improving my classroom management skills!

# data[].attributes.body
Time management and work-life-school balance. I tend to be a perfectionist when lesson planning and building, so much that I miss manage time and don’t give myself room to have time for myself outside of school and work.

# data[].attributes.body
I am so excited to be able to see you all in person and spend time with you all. I hope we continue to grow and get closer together!

Also I hope you can all meet my pup Rosie soon!

# data[].attributes.body
Patience and understanding. In working with my younger brother I really understand his frustration when it comes to school work, homework and just plain busy work. I hope to give my students a different experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding that some students will just not like school. Though I hope I can make their experience better for them. The dislike of school isn’t my fault and probably stemmed early on and it’s okay that they still dislike it after having my class because I did my best.

I am looking to gain experience in a classroom, both in terms of getting used to the environment as well as learning ways to engage with and teach various types of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I worry a little bit about the time commitment and driving so far to get to the school site. I usually have a very poor sleep schedule, but I will make an effort to fix it in order to succeed in this course.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like my cohort to learn more about who I am. My hope is that we will all become closer friends as the semester goes on.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a very good memory, I am patient, and I am very good at story-telling and making analogies. I imagine these skills will all serve me well in creating an engaging classroom environment in which students can enjoy learning about history.

# data[].attributes.body
I sometimes get very discouraged or anxious when things become more difficult than I anticipated. I understand that teaching can be a very difficult profession at times, and that I will need to sometimes take a breath, step back, and recenter myself before continuing.

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking to gain real experience being in the classroom and applying what we've learned. I also hope to gain new strategies by seeing how the teacher applies what she knows in the classroom setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I am easily overwhelmed so I feel that I need to time manage better and prioritize school since I sometimes get side tracked and I lose track of time.

# data[].attributes.body
What I wish my cohort knew about me is that my hearing is pretty bad. If you call out to me and I don't acknowledge your call, chances are I actually didn't hear you. I also like watching anime so if any other anime friends are out there, we need to talk :D

# data[].attributes.body
I expect that my greatest asset in teaching will be my abilities to tell a story. Especially in the context of history, it is a lot like retelling a story.

# data[].attributes.body
I expect my greatest weakness in teaching will be my emotional health. Some days I have my lows but I hope to work on a healthy way to combat that.

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking to gain more experience delivering engaging lessons for the students, and I am also looking forward to getting acclimated to the environment in a high school setting.

# data[].attributes.body
I tend to be worrywart, so I have several worries about this upcoming semester working in a high school classroom. However, my biggest worry is that I won't feel comfortable or myself when on a camera and will mess up my lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
While I am very outgoing, I am also very reserved and shy. It takes a little while for me to get out of my shell.

# data[].attributes.body
I have had experience on student relationship building and classroom management, which I believe will be my greatest asset in teaching. I am also very patient and comfortable talking with parents, so I believe that will come in handy in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a scatter brain and poor memory, so I believe my greatest weakness will be messing up lessons by not remembering them or working really hard to practice and memorize them.

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking forward to seeing my peers and bouncing off ideas of each other in PERSON! I'm also just looking forward to becoming a better teacher through our observations and the feedback

# data[].attributes.body
This semester seems like it'll be slightly overwhelming with being in the classroom and then taking night classes. So hopefully I'll be able to keep it all together and stay afloat while also being able to maintain a social life and work at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
I ask a lot of questions about you guys not because I'm trying to get the tea about you/I'm being nosy I just REALLY care about all of you guys and how you guys are doing because I know how hard this program is and how much we all have going on outside of this program so if I check in on you/offer to bring you dinner it's because I know I'm in a position of privilege living so close to campus that I am happy to take care of you guys and make life a little easier for you in any way I can.

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking to get confidence and experience in teaching. I want to learn how to best provide my students with a learning space that promotes diversity, inclusivity, equity, and accessibility. I hope to get constructive feedback for my CalTPA and how affective I am at using UDL, TPE's, and accommodations in the classroom. I hope to gain new ideas and lessons from my peers and instructor.

# data[].attributes.body
I love ice breaker questions so students seem to let their guard down once I try to get to know them on a human level, rather than just as a student

# data[].attributes.body
Balancing my two other courses with the requirements for my student teaching. Filming a CalTPA that meets the requirements and is passing.

# data[].attributes.body
I feed off of energy and generally project the mood of the room so if students are disengaged it's tough for me to keep the energy going when there's nothing to feed off of.

# data[].attributes.body
I am known to get hyper and lack focus in the evening. For the most part, my ADHD is under control, but my sense of filter can escape me. I take two pills a day, from waking up, and then 6 hours later. My medication tends to wear out around 7-8 pm. If I am every aloof or unorganized you can know why.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest asset in teaching is my enthusiasm and empathy. I love what I do, and I am always engaged in the classroom. I will always give my students the benefit of doubt and be their rock when they need it. Because of my past mistakes and failures, I can share more experience and instill resilience for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness in teaching will be organization, getting to school on time, and maintaining focus. To not trail off course conversation. I do not want to be the teacher where my students get me to talk about myself in order to get out of work.

# data[].attributes.body
I am really excited to gain experience in the classroom. Much of what we have learned so far has just been theory, but turning into praxis is such an essential part of learning! I am also looking to get out of my comfort zone.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried about the time commitment of driving to the school site, as well as staying on top of everything for the CalTPA. When I get overwhelmed I tend to overwork myself or shut down. Looking at the requirements for this course and even the program as a whole makes me feel like there is so much to do (because there is)

# data[].attributes.body
I may seem a bit reserved at first, but it's probably because I tend to stay quiet in larger groups. I would love to talk to everyone in a one-on-one or smaller group setting so I can get to know yall more! I also want everyone to know that I am here to listen and chat whenever you need! Whether it's sharing a piece of good news, or needing to rant - just know that I am available! Also, if you like exploring new food places, let me know because I'm always willing to try a new spot :) So excited to get to know you all more!

# data[].attributes.body
I think I am good at facilitating and leading discussions, or prompting student thoughts. During undergrad, I had experience leading a small group with my church, and there was a lot of thinking that had to be done on the spot as well. I think once I am comfortable in an environment, I know how to take charge well, while also showing care and empathy to those around me.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not as eloquent with my words as I want to be. As a result, I can sometimes stumble on my words or lose my train of thought easily. Because of this, time management and staying on topic can be difficult for me.
