Disaster?

Last night was not chaotic for our group at all. We have three participants and mostly always four teachers. Last night it was 3 on 3! It was nice! Thinking back to a time where I was "thrown to the wolves" would have to have been in the children's school here at Weber State. It was one of my first times being in there. So I wasn't really familiar with the children or the student teachers. There is this child in there N who is very naughty to say the least. He is 3 years old and knows more swear words than I do.. (not really but you know what I mean). He is disruptive, he hits people, calls them names, etc. And then we have A who is overly emotional and will cry at the drop of a hat. This is a very diverse group of children. Being thrown into that with no warning or background information was crazy to me. I know going into this field of work I am going to encounter this more times than none. And honestly I am looking forward to it. I do lots better and learn tons more when I don't know what I am getting myself into. I am not the type of person that gives up without a fight! I am willing to be put out of my comfort zone to learn something I am not familiar with. I am just thankful I was not one of the groups Tuesday night affected by that chaos! But I think it just sounded a lot worse than what was actually there! What I saw was some improv and the other groups in my opinion handled it VERY well!
