Twelve years of public school and four years of college later, I find myself writing my very first blog. Sure I have created my space and face book pages, but I will willingly admit that the idea of blogging has never crossed my mind. I believe that my lack of blogging experience stems from the idea that it reminds me of a more open form of journaling, and even as a young child, I never really found relief in journaling. I love to write and read but there has always been something scary about placing my feelings and personal thoughts into a little book stashed under my pillow or in the far recesses of my underwear drawer. Maybe I am afraid of what may come out, or maybe I've just never really thought I have had anything interesting to say. Either way, now that I have a specific objective, perhaps this Blog will not be such a bad thing and maybe in the process I will learn to enjoy this new electronic fad.
First-time bloggers, sound off!
ReplyDeleteYou'll do fine. Really, it's healthy to hang onto a few reservations about what you share anyway, since other people WILL be reading this (including future students, possibly), but you've got a long ways to go before you risk crossing the TMI line. (If I don't watch myself, I may barrel over that line without breaking stride.)
A good place to start would be to describe your professional goals, and why you want to teach.
