Finally, I finished the alternative certification program. When the administrators told me it would take a year I thought it was a long time. Now, that time just flew by, I realized how fast the entire process really is. It will be odd not having to study for certifications, attend after-school graduate classes and first year teaching training. Not to mention those Saturdays when all you wanted to do is sleep just another five minutes. It would of honestly been a lot harder if it wasn’t for Eric helping me and working around my crazy schedule. I am looking forward to starting the school year. I feel better prepared and I know that it won’t be such a stressful year. Most of all I will be able to enjoy a family life with Eric and our soon-to-be addition.
