One Piece of Advice

If I could only leave one piece of advice for my replacement, it would be to pray for God's guidance. As you pray, trust how you are being led. For me God put key people in my pathway that led me to New Teacher Institute (NTI), which has helped me navigate my way in this foreign land, know as the "educational system". Prayer has helped me stay focused, especially on days when I wanted to give up, turn the key back in and leave. Do not lose sight of your purpose as obstacles come your way. Through prayer wonderful people have aided me from encouragement, giving supplies, lesson plans and even time showing me how to organize my room. Ask for help and remember you know more than the students do about your subject. Finally, be fair and let the students know what your expectations are of them on your first day. Remember be kind to yourself, Rome was not built in a day.
