A summary of my experience

I had a outstanding experience at Marlington Middle School while completing my field placement. The experience was completely worthwhile for a variety of reasons. I had a great time, I learned a lot, and most importantly I reassured myself that teaching was the right profession for me. The whole experience was worthwhile.

One of the best parts of my experience was how welcoming the school was. Before starting my placement there I knew no one. Everyone from the secretary who showed me where the gym was on the first day to the principal to the principal who I talked to on my last day was extremely friendly and helpful. Another positive part about my experience was my reassurance about becoming a teacher. Normally I am not much of a morning person and would rather be sleeping in, but I actually looked forward to going into the school each day. This showed me that teaching was right for me.

I had a great experience at Marlington Middle School and would not change anything about it. I have taken a lot from it and I feel much more prepared to become a teacher now. My cooperating teacher Mr. Gabelt was very influential and helpful to me. He answered any questions I had and did a great job at helping me to get the most out of my experience. My whole experience was great and I will always remember it.
