I got a bachelors degree and I’m about to start my first year teaching :) student teaching went super well! It seems counterintuitive because yes it’s stressful but it keeps you busy all day and then you’re guaranteed weekends and breaks to rest multiple days in a row which is so essential for me to stay stable.
