When I first came to Cortland, I was positive what I wanted to do with my life was teach Physical Education classes. I didn't necessarily know what age group I wanted to teach and I definitely didn't know how good or bad I was going to be at it. However, at the beginning of this semester, when we began to go to Saint Mary's school I truly began to second guess my thoughts on what I wanted to do. The first day there are no questions asked that I was beyond intimidated and it probably was very obvious in my body language. As time went on in the semester however, I really noticed how I was simply just nervous and this is exactly what I want to do with my life. I am happy I noticed this too because I was very close to changing my major and trying something new. I would have seriously regretted it if I was to make that mistake. I belong in the major I am doing now.
With the last and final lab we had at St. Mary's, I have a very bittersweet feeling about leaving. I am happy because that means the semester is coming to an end for obvious reasons, but the truth of the matter is that I very much will be missing the children and the group of peers I was working with throughout the entire semester.
I definitely plan on volunteering at St. Mary's in the future because the people there are amazing and so are the students. I want to send a special thank you to everyone in our PED 201 class and to Dr. Yang as well for making this entire experience one to remember and a very special one indeed.
