Today i recieved my book for my TAQA course. It has dawned on me how much work it needed to become a professional qualified teacher. When i was finished univeristy i thought i would only need to do one more course and then fall into my dream job as a performing arts teacher. This PGCE course has made me realise how juch work you need to put into for you chosen career. I have had meetings with Emma which is going to be my TAQA tutor and to be honest she has scared me and made me think a number of times should i be doing this extra course?
I think i am doing the right thing as i dont want to be sitting around doing nothing when i have finished my PGCE. When i finish my PGCE and TAQA i wonder if i feel the need to do somethig. I hope so as then i know i need to work!
I want to find the right job for me and my little boy. Its a bonus that il be doing something what i enjoy. But also this course and other staff members have made me think they dont enjoy their job.... but then why stay in that profession ? There must be something golden about this job. I have always said i love to teach it is a bonus to teach those who share my passion and that is why i have chosen this path to teach those that love what i love and to share each others knowledge not just my own.
