Find your feet, then the filing cabinet.

The author relates her experience completing her Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and student teaching in Great Britain. She notes that the most difficult aspect of the experience for her was paperwork management. She welcomed the challenges in managing students and their attitudes, she accepted the supervision of a senior teacher, and she survived the lesson planning and resources creation, but she was overwhelmed by the amount of paper and the challenges of filing it appropriately.
