Welcome, Spring!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
​

What a beautiful day it was today! Wow, it really feels like spring is on its way now. I couldn't help but smile my whole ride home from school!
The beginning of spring brings the anticipation of many adventures in the next few months. In just two weeks, I'll begin my next student teaching placement. We're still in the midst of planning a trip to Florida to look at houses, and of course we'll be moving sometime over the summer. Graduation is in May, and I am just so excited for the snow to melt and warm weather to really be in full swing that it doesn't matter what else is happening as long as I don't need a coat anymore.

I only have a week and a half left with my fourth grade class, and I know that I'll be sad to see this placement end. The students realized today what little time I have left and I was pleasantly surprised to realize that they're all going to miss me as well. Their overdramatic little personalities shone through as they yelled about not wanting me to leave. It was pretty funny. I'll really miss these kids when I'm done here.

Student teaching has been a lot like taking in foster kids. You're with the kids for a while, and you get to know them. You figure out what their personalities are like, their interests, their strengths and weaknesses; you bond with them and wish that nothing had to change. But eventually you know that you'll go your separate ways, and you'll get to know the next group of kids and the cycle will begin all over again. The only difference is that these kids are in the classroom instead of at home. Sometimes I feel like my life is a neverending cycle of goodbyes, which I guess is really helpful in preparing to be a teacher. Just another way foster care has truly impacted my life.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
