As a typical mom, I have no pictures of myself. Since I wanted to add a picture of me, I did what any thinking woman would do: I took a selfie. My middle child is taking a photography class at school. His assignment this week is portraits. But, I am not his model of choice. He will have plenty of practice taking pictures of his girl friend. Perhaps I can convince him to take a picture of me later. It would be nice to have one decent picture of just me.
Enough about my picture. My name is Cathryn, and I am a teaching candidate and substitute teacher. I have completed all my methods classes and am waiting for a student teaching position in order to complete my credential. In the meantime, I am continuing to work as a sub and take classes toward my Masters in Education through National University.
I stayed at home with my three children for some time. About four years ago, I decided to go back to work, taking a position as a substitute teacher. I have been a Girl Scout Leader for over 20 years and have been involved in other youth groups most of my life. I have a great deal of experience working with kids, so working in the classroom seemed like a good fit. After a short time working, I had teachers ask me when I was going to get my full credential. I wasn't interested. Then I spent a year with three back to back long term assignments. I realized I enjoyed seeing the same kids everyday and designing the lessons. Plus, I seem to be good at it!
So, here I am! Waiting for a classroom. I had hoped for an internship but none are available in my district. Now, I am waiting for my student teaching assignment in the Spring. I am excited for the adventure ahead of me!
