  6. Overall Being in this Kindergarten class I have seen exactly where students start to learn and that like everything from the alphabet and sounds to learning colors and drawing takes a lot of time. It was a joy to see how excited these children were to come to school everyday. It has not only made me positive that it is what I want to do but also it has inspired me to strive to be the kind of teacher that genuinely cares about the students and the classroom.
