Frustrations As A Teacher

Today I came to class, EXCITED because i was almost completed catching up on all my homework, everything was falling into place and going right! My friends, however, weren't so happy. They had been downstairs to the 2nd grade class in order to fulfill the service project for our class, and came back quite frustrated. They described the event as a complete chaos and a waste of time, full of technological difficulties and miscommunications. The girls said that neither they, the students or the student's teacher knew what was going on or what to do.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here not having been a part of this experience thinking, WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! Then my professor came in and the girls explain the disaster, and Dr. Elwood explains that we are teachers, we have to make sense of the complete chaos and "Make IT Work."
This was a lesson that I needed to learn. It made me realize that in the real world no one is going to hold my hand and show me how to get things done, I have to be able to "think quick on my feet" and do what needs to be done, not only as a teacher but, as a person and a student.
