I am training to be a teacher. I have been accepted onto the PGCE course for this Septmeber to train as a teacher. I am really looking forward to it but I know it's going to be a hard year. Not just in terms of the work but the money aspect too. I won't get much less than what I already get in my job but I will be having to spend more on childcare.
I am terrified of failing, especially these skills test we have to take. I am in the middle of revising for the maths and it has made me realise that, although I work in a junior school, I don't use half the maths that I was taught at school. Most of it I don't even remember!!!
I have had loads of experience with teaching, even teaching classes myself but there is still that doubt and fear in the back of my mind. I know I'll be good at it and it's something I love doing. I could never speak to a room of adults but feel completely at ease in front of children. I always miss my class at holiday times and I feel very emotional at the thought of leaving in July.
