Right where I should Be!

During these past few weeks, there have been a lot of frustrations but there have also been those small moments that make me feel good about my job and help me get through. During lunch, students have stopped by to see what I was doing and if they could help. This made me feel good and made me realize the students are interested in this field and are beginning to respect construction as a "real job", not just guys in hard hats whistling at girls. Many other students have mentioned they want to take this course because "they actually do stuff in that class now". Most of the students remember the old class where only a few students participated in lab work and the others listened to music. It makes me feel like I'm making the changes that I wanted to make. Without these gestures, I don't know how I'd feel about this job.

  1. It's always the students that make you realize that your in the right place. Just keep being yourself and the students love that the most. I understand the frustration sometimes. I believe we all are going through the same thing. Keep your head up, and I know your going to have a very successful year.
