This experience is frustrating. I do not know what I am teaching. I do not feel qualified to teach. I do not have the greatest classroom management...
This experience is rewarding. I know that whatever I can teach my students will be better than the alternative: no one to teach them Spanish. I have learned so much about the lives of my kids. I see how hard my principal works to change our school and I feel inspired... :)
