I begin my student teaching this following spring. I will be in elementary so I will most likely be placed in a 3rd-5th grade class.
I am going through the same anxiety about them "hating me" and have even been getting "cold feet" towards teaching.
What is helping me is that several of my already teacher friends keep encouraging me that I will do just fine!..and the same is true for you.
I admit the teacher not wanting an intern would set me off too...but like you said, try and see it as a challange. I am sure that after the fall she will hope all interns are as great as you!!!
I wish you all the luck and strength in the world
congrats on student teaching..
keep us posted on your semester
