Farewell

Wait, it is over!? You don't say! This class has definitely been one of the most challenging classes I have been a member of since I started college in Fall of 2008. I have doubted my will, and my abilities as a student more than once during this class. Yet, it has definitely been one of the most useful, if not the most. It has not been about the biology of cells, the War of 1812, 2+2, or writing informative papers. This has been all about bettering us as future teachers by giving us the tools to challenge our future students to learn to the best of their abilities. To encourage our students to crave knowledge and to go out there and learn as much as they can. Many times throughout this semester, I have wondered why, Dr. Strange, is so emphatic about us going on our own and learning. But now I understand that this is the same exact thing we will want to our students to do, for the not be bound and limited to the four walls of a classroom. That even when they leave our learning cocoon, they should be like sponges wanting to absorb everything around them.

I hope that one day when we become educators, and we find in ourselves in our at our schools lounge during our planning periods. We will share stories about EDM 310.
