So it is now four days until I leave my job and a week until the training officially begins and nerves are starting to set in.
Will I be able to survive the workload, will I be able get the respect of the kids and biggest of all, is a one week course at University enough to prepare me for the year ahead?
For those who don't know, I have opted for a school- based (SCITT) approach and I begin at my assessment school for the very first day of the year, meaning this week ahead of me is the only training I will get.
My reasoning for this is I wanted as much hands-on experience as possible whilst in my training year, but that reasoning is now being replaced with doubt as to whether I am ready.
The reality is I am three weeks away from meeting the children and still have no idea how to plan a lesson, no idea how to put those plans into practice and quite honestly, no real idea how to deal with children as a teacher.
But my blind faith is keeping me going and I am sure that although it will be a challenge, I will get through it, like with everything else in life and become a success.
If not I can grit and bear it and read the horror stories that are easily accesible on how others have a hard time too - I will not be alone!
