The first school that came to mind was my elementary school James Foster Elementary. Because I stayed in touch with Mrs. Spencer, my kindergarten teacher, I knew that she was still teaching there, too. I immediately texted her to tell her I needed a school and a teacher to meet my needs, she was quick to say yes and I started volunteering in her classroom. My first day wasn't as exciting as the first day of kindergarten, but it was a blast from the past. Nothing has changed, the classroom, the courtyard, the field, it was a beautiful experience for me to connect again with such a dear place. The kids I work with call me “Ms. Farah” I help them with projects and read their stories, it's the little moments I spend with these kids that will stay in my heart forever and remind me that teaching is the best choice for me. Taking this introduction to teaching course I knew it would either show me I would hate it or it would start my lifelong passion for teaching and making a difference. Working together with these guys has made my dreams come true and makes me want to explore the world of education even more in different cultures, cities and states to truly realize my teaching
