Kids in College: Journal 2

Journal Entry #2 – Anticipation of the students coming—What do you hope to provide for the students? What do you hope to learn?

         When the kids arrive, I hope to provide them with a memorable experience that they will never forget. The idea of visiting a college once a week should be a reason for these kids to remember this program however, if they have a mentor that positively impacts their lives, that provide an even better reason to remember this program. I hope to one day come across one of these young students, and have them approach me and ask, “Hey, were you a teacher with the Kids in College at Randolph?”.

         I hope to learn how to properly manage a classroom and keep my students engaged through entertaining learning activities. I also hope to learn a little about myself as well. I’m not entirely sold on the idea that I want to be a teacher. I do feel that I want to be in the field of education, I just don’t have the necessary experience to fully commit quite yet. Through this program, I hope to gain the tools necessary to make the best decision for my future.
