A Bad Review
My plan was to get a recommendation letter from the two teachers in WP in addition to psycho lady. It takes a while to get a response. I hear back from Mrs. B, and I almost regret asking in the first place because it was not was I was expecting. She rejects sending a letter and says that she feels that she could not write what I would want for my portfolio. I'm getting scared about my evaluation. I worked so hard in that placement and gave these kids actual instruction. I didn't bore their lives with packets. I found ways to make the content interesting. I feel so unappreciated for my efforts. I also don't understand why she would feel that way about me. I guess she wants people who are carbon copies of herself. It also could have been something weird like a bias she had against me from the beginning. Maybe she felt I was too young or gay or something that made her not like me having nothing to do with my teaching ability. Also, I feel that she should be realistic that I am a new teacher and look for potential rather than ending results. The teacher that I will be in two, five, ten years will be so different that who I am right now. Now that I had some time to cool off I cannot let her reject affect my view of myself as a teacher. I believe that I will grow into a fantastic teacher. I've come so far in such a small amount of time. As long as I keep that drive to grow further I will certainly rise above my current ability and probably surpass this woman's 50 years of experience, and it may only take half that time or less!
