Okay at times it was great and at times it was a bit of a nightmare. I was bullied by one of my supervising teachers - but I kept going back and in the end he wrote me a good reference which is bizarre, weird and good all round into one!
It was so stressful for me. I really came up against my severe avoidance and profound associative states and I was so gutsy and I just kept going. So it all worked out.
I really hit a whole level of new personal bests. I cannot tell you how much I have improved.
I also was professional an intimated my problems and I did just fine. I stated unemotionally the problems. I did the White middle class thing very well. I was appropriate.
The whole school prac teacher co-ordinator said she would take me on as her professional prac student teacher if I wanted to go back so you couldn't get a higher level of a compliment from a teacher than that. She is brilliant, amazing and such a creative teacher. It was amazing. I made a real connection with her.
I also improved the moment and managed the bully teacher quite well towards the end. I did it. I got stressed. I had some triggers but I still kept going. There were areas that I did fall down in because I was emotionally overwhelmed but hey I made it through.
My partner B supported me and I was so lucky to have my sister, my psychiatrist and the suicidecallbackline to talk to when it all fluctuated at times. I was honest, asked for assistance and I got some help. I learnt if you turn up even when you are not prepared and be honest things can be worked out. I never got that in my family of origin.
So I am almost 50 and I am finally learning how to be in my body around other people.Amazing stuff. I have worked so hard to get to this point.
It was a rugged seven weeks, I learnt so much about the young people, the system, teaching and myself.
So a big hooray for me!
