As I write my last undergraduate journal many emotions run through my veins as I think about my past, present and future. The struggles over the five years I have spend educating me, Tiaira Greene to be a teacher, a special educator filled with promise of a better tomorrow. I know I can and will make a difference in that tomorrow. It brings forth shivers, warmth of passion, and that peculiar sensation of that unknown excitement that is soon to be before me. The fear of the unknown is just ahead of me, of what is to come, yet knowing I hold the essential knowledge necessary to be such a teacher because of the time spent at the College of St. Rose, is warming to my veins. I am nervous, but ready.

    When I first walked into room 110 of South Anchorage High School I had no idea what was in store for me. On the very first day of class Mr. Lee Butterfield informed us that this course would be extremely challenging and he had planned to push us all to our limits. He accomplished this, but in a way that was very rewarding in the end. Never in my life had I ever enjoyed or appreciated reading and writing. Little did I know this would be the year that would change everything.…

Even if we weren’t aware of it, these differences began the moment we were born, and have continued to change throughout our lives.…

    I am applying for a PGCE teacher training course because I have always had an interest in working with young people within the education sector. Through voluntary experience I have been privileged to exercise my passion for helping the future generation achieve their aspired goals and potentials, as I was fortunate to have received this support during my own educational journey.

    Reflecting back to how I was when I first arrive at the University of Central Florida I could say that I have grown a lot both academically and overall as a college student. Now that I have passed more than half of the semester I have gained confidence with what I’m doing and I think I got the hang of it. I could say that in general I am very satisfied with how I’m doing academically, I am doing well in both of my courses. Another thing that I could say is that not only have I already taken away a lot from UCF but the book “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore that was assigned for us to read has taught me a lot. I also am on track with the goals that I’ve set for myself this semester…
