" A Truly Amazing Time"

Today I went over to school Four for my sponsor meeting. I had left a few minute before my eighth period class and I have to say that my heart was racing. I can't begin to describe the excitement that builds up while I was walking to the class. As I made my way to her classroom I passed children and friendly smiling teachers. The atmosphere that inhabits the bustling hallways can only be described as wonderful. How the children analyze you with such curiosity and amazement, how the teachers greet you with a warm smile and a kind hello. When I reached my class Mrs. Ma honey was reading to the children. When I  walked in I was greeted by all with smiling faces a couple of the kids where like "She's back". The entire class looked at me again as if I were a giant. I walked over to the spot that I had sat at on my last visit but this visit was even better. Mrs. Fitzpatrick began her math lesson and asked me to illustrate the work on the smart board. I can't say I wasn't nervous, I could have died on the spot but when I walked up to the board the kids looked at me in awe they all tentatively listened to me explain the problem. At the end one of the kids called me Ms. Cindi. My heart melted at that moment because the rest of the class followed, it reassured me that teaching is the thing for me. I did the problems with the children and sat back down. Both, Mrs. Mahoney and Fitzpatrick assured me that I was official part of their class. I was all smiles the rest of the day. I felt that same feeling as when I stepped into Ms. Adams class some time ago which can only indicate to me that I have truly found my calling.
