The Game of Life: College Edition Fake it ’till you make it
My dear readers, you will never guess the new opportunity being presented to me this time. For the fall of my senior year at UWF, I have been tasked with leading a soil science lab. For context, I have been a teaching assistant all summer and knew I would be one in the fall as well. However, “assistant” normally means someone else is in charge. Well, not this time! I will actually have my own assistant in the lab. The reason for me teaching the lab is because I am one of two graduate students who have actually taken the class before, and the professor cannot teach both days. This, coupled with us having a small department, allowed our department chair to deem me the best option to teach the lab. While I am flattered, I have to say I was in utter shock when I found out I would be taking charge of the entire thing. Luckily, the professor and I have a good relationship with each other (and he understands I play softball which makes working with my schedule a lot easier). Mind you, I do not have any background whatsoever in education/teaching. But, the professor and I both determined this would be a fun learning experience that will work out in the long run (it just may take a lot of work).
