Excerpt
When I returned to Oakview Elementary school in Greer, South Carolina, for the first time in nearly a year, memories from my Teacher Cadet fieldwork experience flooded into my head. School had just let out for the day, and my eyes scanned the crowd of children waiting to go home. I spotted Julia, a student with whom I had formed a special bond, and I waved to her as she stepped into her car. As I walked down the hall to the third grade classroom of Beth Wiltberger, I remembered how I had felt on my first day in her classroom, before the first lesson I ever taught, and after leaving her classroom for the last time. Thinking about my former students brought a smile to my face, and I realized how excited I was to speak with Mrs. Wiltberger.
