Ms. Cherita Smith shares a piece of advice for future beginning teachers.
Finish Strong!
As the end of the year approaches, I understand firsthand how chaotic things are getting. There is always something so important to get done. Even with the important day-to-day things you have to do, remember to finish strong. There is not an extra award in education for having everything turned in first. Endurance is the key! Take one task at a time and finish strong. As beginning teachers, it can and often does feel overwhelming at times, but "nothing is impossible...the word itself says I'M POSSIBLE.". You are also capable. So, take a few breaths and finish this year and the Beginning Teacher Program strong.
