First-year

Ever since I joined the TEE family I knew I was going to be teaching, but during that time not once did the first year of teaching ever cross my mind. Then we started reading The First Days of School. Ever since then I have been thinking about it a lot. I was nervous when I first started reading and thinking about the first year of teaching, but being forced to think about it has helped me to not be as scared of that first year and to think through possible scenarios and to be able to anticipate what might be encountered so I won't be as scared when the time comes for that first year of teaching.
