step one, done!

Bravo! I have successfully gone through my first observing class this morning. For me this is all an event. I've been so nervous these last days and I know exactly why. Last year, 'bout this time of the year, I had decided to let go my dream of getting my degree. And I just felt terrible. When last month I realized that the time to try it again had come, well, things got bad. I really felt deeply inside that I wouldn't be able to do it. I was scared to death and the fact of forcing myself to ask for schools timetables was a crazy adventure for me. But, as people say, the sun always rises again for all of us, and this time I said to myself that I was compelled to do this, but the good thing was that I could try to enjoy of the process. And so I did. The group is fantastic. There are 14 friendly, easy going, thouthful kids, eager to learn. I know, this was only my first class with them, but it was awesome. I'm looking forward to teach them, 'cause I feel that this experience will strenth all the things that I feel about teaching.
I do realize that there will be not so brillant classes, but this is a challenge that I'm willing to persuit. I have to wrap up some loose concepts, but I think I can do it well. I believe it, damn it!
