Summer is fast approaching as I am sure many of your have already realized. We have been having those random days where it will be completely beautiful but just a few degrees too cold. Before you know it we will all be wishing it were like this because we'll be baking inside our cars and frying in the sun. I am looking foreword to it anyway though.

I am one of the lucky few that don't get a summer vacation. That would make life much too easy for me. No I have more than a full schedule for the summer and it is going to test my will and my strength I think to stay inside all summer long in classes and then to go outside only to be strapped down to my notebooks and laptop to get homework done.

Since I have this great opportunity I have also been given a work study job for the summer at a local school. I will be doing my experiential hours for education in a middle school teaching English as a Second Language to foreign students who are in high school. I think that it is going to be a whole lot of fun because they have put me in charge of thinking about the lessons regarding technology and I am a huge proponent of e-learning. I am actually doing a technology minor so I will be able to use that within the context of my career later. I have been doing correspondence lessons through the enterprise learning library and hope to get my a+ certification sometime before I graduate. It may sound like a lot of work to many of you who feel overwhelmed by your current course load, but I am personally very excited to be able to have this opportunity. My belief is that college is the time for honing in on what really matter for you in life as well as in your future career goals. Because of this belief I have devoted myself fully to my education and my professional development as a teacher. This I do with the intention of being the best I can be for my students who will be the final judge on my performance in the things they do after leaving my classroom.
