Do I regret signing up for this program? No. Would I have been a better student teacher had I not had a full course load? Probably. Do I still want to be a teacher? Most days. Does it frustrate me that this is what society defines as success? Yup. Am I ready to go a full day without tears? Absolutely! Am I counting down the days? You better believe it!

I miss my friends, I miss my guitar, I miss the piano, I miss full nights of sleep, I miss enjoying who I am, and I miss taking a deep breath and not quivering on the exhale.

Summer, bring it on!
