I have decided to no student teach next semester. Whether it will be to work and save money or if i can i will be joining the national guard. I am so burnt out from school this semester, i just don't feel that my mind is in the right place nor will it be by fall. I know that having a summer off can change a lot, but i need more than that before i get completely re-indulged in an educational aspect. I want to be gung-ho for student teaching and teaching in general when i have to do it.

I got permission from Joe Lubig in the Education department to take even a year or more off to be involved with the national guard. I have wanted to join for a long time and i am looking forward to doing so more than i can explain.
