Journal Entry 2

Journal Entry 2: September 6th

Today was the second day of school, and I'm starting to get into the swing of things. I'm teaching a class of seniors this year, and we're diving into the world of Shakespeare. We're starting with "Hamlet," and I'm excited to see how the students will respond to the play. It's always a challenge to get teenagers interested in old literature, but I think I can make it work.

I've been getting to know some of the other teachers in the school, and it's been interesting to see how they approach teaching. There's Ms. Johnson, who teaches science, and she seems very serious and focused. Then there's Mr. Davis, who teaches math, and he's much more outgoing. It's a good mix of personalities, and I think we'll be able to work together well.

In terms of the students in my class, there are a few who have caught my attention. There's Rachel, who's always eager to participate in class discussions. She has a real passion for literature, and it's inspiring to see. Then there's David, who's a bit of a troublemaker but has a good heart. He always has a joke or a funny story to share, and the other students seem to like him. And finally, there's Sara, who's very quiet and reserved. She hasn't spoken up much in class yet, but I have a feeling she has a lot of thoughts and opinions that she's keeping to herself.

On the other hand, there's one student in particular who's been giving me a strange feeling. His name is Mark, and he just seems to stare at me all day. It's like he's trying to read my mind or something. I know it's probably just my imagination, but it's unnerving nonetheless. Hopefully, he'll open up in class soon, and I can get a better sense of what's going on with him.
