10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: kind of new to the teaching world.

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: That's great. What made you get into teaching?

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: I have always had a heart for kids and just

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: getting invested in their lives and helping them to learn

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: and grow and watching them just kind of flourish when

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: they figure out all of the amazing things that they

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: can do.

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: And how is year one compared to year two for you?

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: As a new teacher?

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: One was a little bit challenging. You're learning as the

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: kids are learning, and so this year going back in,

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,640

00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: give me a chance to really Yeah, it gives me

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: a chance to really kind of get to know the

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: kids quicker and invests because I don't feel like I'm

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: having to learn right along with them.

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,280
