Day Six - I worked on Monday 3/09/08 from 9:20am to 4:00pm. I worked a total of 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Total Hours: 57 hours and 10 minutes

Today I worked in the eye testing with Tina. We got through 4 classes. We started with the fourth grade and ended with the sixth grade. It was really tiring because I am really sick. I have a bad cold and I can't stop blowing my nose and sneezing. They were almost going to send me home but I decided to stay because it would then take a longer time to finish the eye testing. It was good, though, because we got pretty far.

I haven't really spoken to anyone about their careers or how they got to where they're at right now. My mentor told me about her career, though, before I started working there. She told me that she didn't want to be a principal and that she was aiming to be only a teacher. But, after a long time of teaching she started moving up into more responsible jobs. She then, one day, realized that she was a principal and she liked it. She said that in order to work in a school, you have to have a lot of patience with students and also care for them. She also said that it gets really hard and tiring but if you like it, you will never regret it. This is the only thing I know about my mentors' careers.
