In our observations we have done this year as a class and the observations I have done on my own it really made me appreciate the profession of teaching and all that it has to offer. The first school that we visited in Mercer Elementary school in Shaker Heights I thought was a very good school. The principal at the school was very good and I liked the way he ran things there and the classrooms that I observed  were very good. The next school was Beachwood Middle School in Beachwood, Ohio. I really liked this school because I got to observe a Chinese class and that was my first time ever being in one and I really enjoyed it a lot. the next school we went to was Orange High School and I really enjoyed this school because I was placed into the Physical Education class there and this is the exact grade level and class I would like to teach in my career. I feel like this observation helped me the most with figuring out what I wanted to do with my teacher career because I always had an idea of where I would like to teach and what class and grade level but this was my first time experiencing it. While I was on my own observations I was at Millridge elementary school, in Mayfield, Ohio. This was a good experience for me because I got to connect with the children a lot more because I was there for 10 hours and it was many different days I got to interact with the classes. I also liked this observation because they had a large number of hearing impaired kids and this was my first time really handling special needs children. But in a whole I really enjoyed every moment at being at Millridge Elementary school and I could see my self being to work in a school like that someday. I also got involved in a lot of different situations at Millridge that just gave me a understanding that everyday you are with kids is going to be different. I really enjoyed going out to these different schools because it gave me a feeling of comfort that education is the right profession for me.
