Week 3.

     It's the last week of class! I'm excited now, but when next week comes around I know it's going to be crunch time. This week so far has been a pretty good week. Our class is figuring out what we are going to be doing for presentation night. We're are going to teach people the games that learned. I'm teaching craps, so it should be fun. Winterum comes to a close tomorrow and after that all of us seniors go our separate ways. I've talked to more people this year then I have in years pasts and made friends with some people I never thought I would have. A few of them are going out of town. I know we all say that we will stay in touch now, but once we all get involved in our Walkabouts were going to be busy.
     I'm finding it really strange that I'm making my own schedule. I'm planning when and where I have to be and what I'm doing instead of having someone telling me what I'm doing. I have my times worked our where I'm at my Walkabout Monday through Thursdays.
     My Walkabout is all set up now. I got a hold of a mentor for me and she is over joyed to have me in her classroom. I am at Ridgeview Middle School, working with an Intervention Specialist. My mentor's career is the career I want. I think I'm really lucky to have exactly what I want in a career as my Walkabout. I already know I can do the job because I have such a love for teaching, and I've done a lot of volunteering in this career. still though, a part of me is scared. I know it's natural, but I can't seem to shake it off. i'm scared of college. I'm scared of growing up. People have always told me that each decision effects your life, and my concern is. Everyone in my family is so proud. That's what I hear about. My brothers telling me to go to college. Make something of myself. Be the best thing that I can be. They've told me to not mess up like they did. Thus far I haven't, but sometimes the pressure is a lot. That's when i get scared. Everything up to now has just been talk. The Graham school has given us the opportunity to find ourselves before we get tossed out on our behinds in cooperate America. This way we have more knowledge then an average senior.

     Well, I guess I have an experience of a lifetime.
