  • I'm an secondary Education major and I just wanted to say I love your video. I have apprehensions and fears about my future as a teacher that I know all educators must face one day. Thank you for making this video! :)

  • Cool reflections! I know that for me the biggest surprise was finding out how much MORE students were willing to respect me when I really held them accountable for their actions.

  • Thank you so much for this video. It is my first year of teaching and I just got through my first semester. I have felt and experienced all of the things that you mentioned in the beginning. Sometimes it seems like other teachers will be looking at me and thinking "why doesn't she get this yet", so it was very nice to see your honest, real, and relatable account of your first year. I will watch this the rest of the year, it just may help get me through! THANK YOU!!!

  • Great twist in your story line, with the focus on all you learned from your students.

  • Im a freshman in college majoring in chemistry and minoring in secondary education and i cant wait to start teaching! I loved your video! Very inspirational! I look forward to what's to come!

  • This video was so inspirational!!! Thank you for giving me another perspective on what it is truly like to be a first year teacher!

  • Wow Sherry your video is really good. I was completely engaged and loved the voice you put into it. what made it even more powerful was the conversations you had with your students...i loved it.

    ok heres were i apologize for being dumb. before i even watched your video i tried to click on the rating to see who had rated it, and accidently gave you a low rating =( i'm so sorry, but my real rating is 10 stars!

  • oh sherry! i remember when you first started. you are soo good! what lucky students. almost made me cry too.

  • How valiant that you took so much time to write meaningful comments to your students!

    I had nightmares too about the kids! And yet I cried on the last day of school. How weird this job is!

  • Having gotten nearly eaten alive while subbing in a 7th grade class this year, I'm sympathetic with the struggles! I am really impressed with the way you were able to get past the nightmare visions and stress to really love your kids. I love your video's empathy, and I learned from it.
