Ending the Session...

It's weird to think that we've finished our first Cadre Session. Congrats CADRE! We've come so far together and it's only been a short 4 weeks. I want you to truly know that I'm looking forward to the upcoming year with you all. I know friendships have begun to form and I'm so excited to strengthen the bond between us. I'm the lone student from UNK, a small town girl, and it's been a struggle to adjust to Omaha, being in the same town as my fiance, and working through the Cadre Program. I appreciate all of the support (and sympathy) you've given me and I've been attempting to adapt. I know this group will become my biggest support system. I can't wait for the challenge up ahead.

I'm hoping that this year stays as fun as it has been this session. I love how fun each class has been. We're never bored. We're challenged and our instructors have bent over backwards meeting the needs of their students. How lucky are we? We have such great role models as teachers, how could we possibly fail? I love that...I love knowing that my instructions know me as a person and truly want to see me not only succeed...but to truly EXCEL and reach beyond anything we thought imaginable. I hope I can create this type of atmosphere for my students. It will take a lot of hard work and motivation, but with my 6th grade students...is anything ever work?
