Reflection

I think my professional knowledge has expanded significantly since the first day of the program, and I think I have grown as a teacher as a result.  I believe my goals for student teaching are realistic, and I think I am aware of both my strengths and weaknesses.  I am not sure if my goals can be accomplished in a semester or if they will become my eternal professional guidance as I continue teaching in the future; in any case, they will give me focus.  And there is one thing about which I am absolutely certain: I have "the courage to try a thousand times before giving up."
