Beginnings

Chinese Philosopher Lao-tzu once said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".  This blog will document my teaching journey from the first step at university to my very own classroom, or so I hope!

Choosing a university was not hard for me.  I grew up in a rural town in North West NSW; there is only one university that is a part of our landscape. The University of New England, Armidale.  I enrolled as a mature age student in a Bachelor of Education (Primary), or BEDPRM for short.  I was so relieved, and scared too, when my application was accepted and I became a student once again.

It will be hard to find the balance between being a full time stay at home mum with two small children to care for as well as university study.  I have a lot to learn and think about as I find my feet on this path of study.
