We have now been home for at least three weeks. It still feels weird to think about the time that I had in Ireland. It feels like it was all a dream! During the holiday season, many people asked about my time in Ireland, how we spent our time, and about the weather. I felt myself answer everyone with the same answer of "It was amazing!” but Ireland was more than amazing.
Ireland taught me so much about myself that I did not see until I got home. Ireland changed the way I think about the world, America, and myself. It changed the way I see the American education process, the way I view the classroom and students. Ireland changed me and I believe it was all for the best.
Now as I sit here typing I am putting together my teacher portfolio. This will be the talking point during interviews that will show my future employer who I am in the classroom. There is so much pressure riding on this 3 ring binder that it blows my mind. This binder has to speak for who I am as a teacher and professional. The want to put everything into this binder is crazy, but as I sit back and think about what the employer wants to see I find that I want to put quality information in this binder.
Now I sit here waiting for the right position to open knowing that I have time get my ducks in a row before then.
Love always,
Emma Duncan
