Taken a step back. After the stress of last week, Ms. Rozanski and I thought it was important for me to settle down and get back into a regular routine. You have to realize when a certain situation is not helpful to anyone least of all students. Had I started teaching in Ms. Rozanski’s room sooner than I am, I would not be very effective.

After the stress of last week to finally have the situation settled was an incredible weight off my shoulders. I know I tried my best last week to make it through but it became so overwhelming I became immensely stressed. I am so relieved to have everything sorted out and to be in a stable situation again. I also have felt gratitude towards so many people this week. Ms. Rozanski has been so amazingly helpful. I am grateful not only for her taking me on as her student teacher but also for all the support she offered last week throughout Mr. McKinney’s absence. I am grateful to you as well. You were very understanding of the stress with which I was dealing. I also thank you for your and Dr. Young’s assistance in changing my situation. Mr. McKinney was also supportive of me as I made this change. He understood I was in an impossible situation and was unable to continue with him. Overall, everyone surrounding me throughout my student teaching experience was so helpful and I feel so blessed to have the people I do helping me through this
