    I am a freshman in college and I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was little. When I found your channel I was so excited and I have fallen in love it! Can’t wait to become a teacher.

    I am going through the same thing! I’m a first year third grade teacher and I get sick to my stomach from anxiety. I’m always crying for no particular reason. It feels good to know I’m not alone!

    • @itsbaileystokes
      @itsbaileystokes  3 роки тому +6

      Yes girl! It’s an awful feeling but we’ve got this!

    Thank you for sharing your experience with anxiety. I’m a first year teacher too (high school math) and the first three weeks of school I was miserable. I went up a little on my anxiety medication and have felt SO much better. Thank you for normalizing anxiety as a first year teacher!!

    • @itsbaileystokes

      Of course!!! It’s crazy how much it can help! So thankful!

    Ugh. I love your videos. As a first year, 2nd grade teacher, I don’t have many friends that secured teaching jobs this year so it is hard to find people you can relate/understand. Thank you soo much for sharing and being so vulnerable .. it feels good knowing I’m not alone!! Lol keep on keeping on girl!!!

    About to start my student teaching and I appreciate you being so open about your anxiety. If I’m worried about student teaching, I worry about my anxiety levels when I actually begin teaching.
    You are such an amazing teacher and I am so excited I found this channel. 💕 thanks for being real with us!

    • @itsbaileystokes

    I just want you to know, I have been teaching-8 years this year. Even I am doubting my career choice this year. Teaching is all I have EVER wanted to do. Many of my colleagues are doubting their career choices. This year is extremely difficult and exhausting. I cannot imagine being a first year teacher during this pandemic. Thoughts and prayers with you! You really are doing an AWESOME job!!!

    I agree, 3rd grade is the sweet spot where students start to take ownership of their responsibilities. My 3rd-5th grade sections were always less maintenance than my K-2nd when I taught general music. Great video! Thanks for sharing....😀

    Hi Bailey,
    I have had anxiety since like birth and what I have found that helps me on the go are these roll on CBD oils by Brothers Apothecary. I like the love one, focus one, and insight one. They smell great and help a lot!

    I will be graduating with my masters in school counseling this year, and will be a first year school counselor for next school year! I love that you are open with your anxieties because, as a counselor, I know I will be working with a lot of teachers who may be feeling the same things, but not be as open when speaking on it. I experience anxiety myself, but am not technically a teacher, so its great to get an inside view from someone who is. Love your videos. You look gorgeous!

    • @itsbaileystokes
      @itsbaileystokes  3 роки тому +3

      That is awesome! I LOVE my school counselor! She’s such a saint and always so encouraging. It takes a special kind of person to do that! Congratulations on graduating soon❤️🥰
