Welcome!

After four years of persuing an undergraduate degree in English/Creative Writing and an endorsement for English as a Second Language, I’ve signed myself up for an intensive, year-long program that serves the dual purpose of earning a graduate level Master’s degree for secondary education and providing hands-on, classroom experience through a three-rotation internship in a local school district.  The Master of Arts in Teaching will help me gain the confidence needed to become a certified, secondary-level teacher.  Those who have gone before me say that this will be the most stressful year that I have yet endured in my pursuit of higher education, but that once out of the crucible, I will be greatful for the experience.  I have set up this site so that I can document and share the events of this year.  Advice and encouragement are always welcome, and I hope that the learning will be mutual.  Cheers to a new adventure!

Sincerely,
Nicole Avery

    Nicole, the blog looks great; I’m so proud of you! I’ll keep looking as the year goes on and I’m away at school too. It seems it will be a busy year, full of transitions and new knowledge. :)

    Also, we need to talk about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!!!

    It is interesting that Nicole’s journal writing has abruptly stopped as school has started.
