with your students but understand that there are boundaries in place for you as a professional (and yes, you are a professional). This may not come naturally and you might mess up but don’t let that discourage you, own the mistake and correct your behavior. Secondly, make sure you set your own personal boundaries from the beginning but don’t be like me and stress for months about whether you should let your students follow you on instagram or not, those decisions will come with time. Thirdly, when those moments come that you are doubting yourself, remember that you were hired for a reason; your supervisor saw something in you and knew you would be able to do this job and do it well. Last but not least, enjoy the time with your students because it goes fast. You are going to create wonderful memories with them and while you will have an impact on their lives, they will have an even bigger impact on yours.
