Learning on the Job

I am currently undertaking my final professional experience for my teaching degree. It is interesting to find myself at the end of my degree and reflecting on what I have achieved over the past three and a half years. It is even more interesting to reflect on how I have grown as a teacher. 
After only a few days of placement I am itching to get out 'into the real world' and become a teacher. As each lesson goes by I become more and more confident in both my teaching style but also my career choice. 
I have been very lucky with mentor teachers off whom I have learnt so much in the last three years. They have varied and all have had a unique way of teaching. But they all have had one thing in common, that is, they have all supported me immensely throughout. 
While it hasn't always been rainbows and butterflies, the feedback I have received from each of them has allowed me to grow as a teacher, as a professional and as a person. For that I am truly grateful. 
I still have over three weeks remaining of my professional experience, but I can already tell that that time will fly. I am looking forward to continuing this experience with enthusiasm, making sure that I learn plenty along the way.
