The end of the semester

As the semester comes to an end, I can truly say that the classes I have with this instructor really pushes me to create or deliver something new and challenging.  This semester, our project was to teach in front of a classroom of nursing students.  This seemed easy to me in the beginning, but as I started to prepare my lesson, I soon realized that it's not all that easy.  It takes a lot of preparation and time to make sure that what you want the students to learn is actually presented in such a way that students engage.  The topic has to be something they can relate to and something that they will actually be making use of in their future.  Then, standing up in from of a class of about ninety students, with the instructor and the director of the MSN program looking on, can make a person pretty nervous.  I prevailed though, and after a while, I realized that I was actually enjoying what I was doing.  It was quite an experience and it made me realize that choices are there for all of us.  We need only decide what we will do with our own education.
