I'm a few months into my PGCE and finding it really tough. I didn't go into it thinking it would be easy, but oh my god I had no idea it would be this difficult! I feel like I want to be a teacher for all the right reasons, but so many things just get in the way of being able to teach. It takes me hours to plan each lesson and I'm barely left with any time to sleep, let alone do anything else. I really, really want to be a good teacher but right now I feel I'm mediocre at best. How do I get through this next year without having the optimism and enthusiasm beaten out of me?!
