Monster Cookies..

As I continue on this journey of pursuing my degree in art education, I face challenges and new obstacles every day. Class loads and preparations for applying to the college of education can become extremely stressful sometimes, if you let it. Although I've pondered this thought before, I just recently had an experience which made me recogcnize the importance of fellowship among the art educators community. A few girls from my Teaching the Nontraditional Canon class and I decided we should escape the stresses of it all and go to a restaurant and eat their monster cookies! It was one of the best experiences Ive had with my classmates because of two reasons. One was that the, "Monster Cookies," we had were warm, gooey, and delicious, but also, that spending time with other art educators and sharing our thoughts, troubles, ect. was a really stress relieving experience. I think that even when we all actually get in the classroom and start teaching, that making time for this fellowship is even more important for sharing struggles, accomplishments, and new ideas for projects. So if your feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take advantage of the fact that their are others out there just like you, and go eat some monster cookies!
