Concerns Going Into Practicum Teaching

As the days creep closer to me becoming a practicum art teacher, I am both excited and nervous for this new experience in my life.  Some of my worries include not being prepared to handle unexpected situations, not being completely prepared for class, and forgetting important material and information when teaching the students.  

I am a "planner" by nature, but I know there's always a chance that something unexpected will happen.  Based on my personal concerns, I know that I will have to be prepared ahead of time in order to avoid last-minute time crunches to finish material in order to teach class.  As I have grown and matured throughout my college career, I have learned to be more independent and that sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone in order to get what you want in life, and for me that happens to be becoming an art teacher.  Even though I have these concerns going in, I know in the long run it will only help me improve my teaching and how I interact with children.
