Sometimes it feels like you will always be overwhelmed and that it will always be "too much"...but then a month later you look back and wonder why you were even stressed about that in the first place! Now you are a pro!

there are going to be a bunch of amazing opportunities that come up, but only you know your limit. don't stress yourself out by taking on too much!! take it easy. take time off on the weekends for yourself.

Make time for yourself! If you have a hobby make sure to allow yourself time to enjoy it! If you don't have a hobby...find one? hahah Just make sure you make time for the things that you enjoy outside of teaching!

Go Slow!

Stay Consistent/Create a rhythm!

Be willing to be the "student" each day. (Learn each day)!

Have grace with yourself, try to create work/life balance.

Begin learning about your students as individuals day 1- Take the time to do this because they will listen better, want to work harder in your class, and you will ENJOY teaching and being around them more.

negativity from others has a huge effect on how you feel about your job. focus on the positive aspects of this job. doing that helps you stay motivated and keeps you looking up

You do not learn everything you need to know to be a successful teacher in University! Be open to learning from those who have traveled the road you are on.

Easier said than done...but try to leave work at work! Even if you have to stay at school until 6pm every night or come in early everyday, try to keep your social/home life separate from your school life. You will be so glad to have your weekends and evenings free! :)

Pack good lunches- something that will give you energy! Talking all day is more tiring than you would expect. AND drink water.

Surround yourself with people who bring you up and bring out the best out of you. Do NOT surround yourself with the negative Nancys and people who complain about it all. Surround yourself with the sunshines and the people who make you smile!

Everything you do can be a learning experience just make sure you are paying attention!

Become a representative of your school. Coach a sport, lead a club, volunteer, do extracurriculars, attend sporting events and plays and other events. You will be so glad you did!

Don't take yourself so seriously! Let the kids see your personality! In my experience the kids feel much more comfortable learning from a person with faults rather then a teacher who "knows everything"
