If you have a heart for teaching, get into some sort of program. There are often alternative ways to get a license if you already have a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish. I took an instructional processes course, which helped some. I also watched a few Harry Wong videos, and that really helped and I got advice from several friends. The most salient pieces of advice I got were to plan, plan, and plan out your entire day, and to go in “tough” because if you lose control, it’s difficult to regain. Now I am doing an alternative licensing program that takes under a year to complete. You should also begin working on the Praxis 1 now, maybe the Praxis 2.

Wishing you all the best!
