Imaging Italy
As I imagine Italy, I think about why I am going. While I am immensely excited about the food, and the sights, and immersed in the culture, I am taking this course and going on this trip for my growth. I graduate in May and my college experience has been focused on my teacher training. I have spent all my time focused on becoming the best educator I can and have stayed within my comfort zone, rarely doing anything incredible or brave. This incredible opportunity will allow me to become a better braver version of myself and a better educator in the process.
As I immerse myself in history and culture I will gain a better perspective of the world, as well as my and my students' unique place in it. What I learn and what I experience over the next three-plus weeks I will bring with me into the classroom. When I imagine this trip I imagine the person it will shape me into. I hope that it helps me to become a braver, more competent, and cultured person and educator, so that I may best serve my future students.
