My well-being display on placement 🙌🏼 the gratitude trees were a part of my observed lesson 🌳🙌🏼⭐️ My biggest goal is to just be the teacher I needed 🤍 Kids said today “ Miss McDermott you’ll make a great teacher” 😭💖#healthandwellbeing #mentalhealth #studentteacher

I was desperate for a break…now I am desperate to go back 👩🏼‍🏫💗⭐️😭💖

Saw one of my lovely pupils in Starbucks this morning with their parent and omg 😭💖 made me realise just how TEACHING IS YOUR LIFE! Could hear a wee voice “Is that Miss McDermott?” Getting louder and louder😅 Miss their faces so was a nice reminder💕 #studentteaching

You are bigger than your anxiety.

On my last day of placement a little girl came up to me first thing and said “I didn’t have time to go to the shops, but I found this at the church!” 😩 she brought me a flower!😭❤️ It’s the little things…✨✨✨ #studentteacher #primaryteaching #student #placement

Second year of uni has taught me the true meaning of perseverance 👏🏼 Rockiest, toughest, most stressful thing I have probably ever done but I persevered (as did my friends)💗 HALF WAY THERE ✨⭐️ Stickers for all :) #studentteacher

✨💗 Today, tomorrow and every other day you may feel like you haven’t done “enough”…BUT YOU SHOWED UP! 👏🏼

Well…it’s almost time for placement number 2 - nervous, doubtful, overwhelmed and scared but also starting to get a wee bit excited! P7 👀 very daunting (I’m tiny hahahah) Just gotta fake it until we make it🫶🏼

I was extremely apprehensive and full of the fear going into my BA3 primary 7 placement..."OH NO I DON'T" (see what I did there hah), I can confirm, I actually think I prefer this end of the school!!!! Love love love.

One topic close to my heart is Divorce💔 Lately I’ve been struggling mentally, so decide to distract myself and write a book. A Broken Home amzn.eu/d/16ZCkqJ A horrible thing for any child. The blessing of a blended family is BEAUTIFUL🦋💖🌎 #author #ChildrensBooks
