I never thought of teaching a class as a senior in high school. My teaching experience has been incredible and I think I learned as much from the class as the students did.

When I was first offered the opportunity to teach an adult education class on AbIT thought it would be a great experience. I knew it would look good on my resume. I knew that I would probably learn a lot. However, I didn't realize how much fun it would be. I never had to drag myself to class or felt like it was a dreadful thing. Before I would start class, especially for the first few times, I would get very nervous. But I began to really enjoy it and before long my anxiety about teaching went away.

Just because the students were great and the teaching experience was fun, doesn't mean it was easy. Each one of my students (it still feels funny to call people my students) had a different level of experience.
