One of the requirements is that I do 80 or so hours of work with children which I am completing right now. I am volunteering as teachers assistant and I am noticing how exhausted I am only working part time with a few students. I am worried that I am not going to be handle working full time as a teacher or if I want to. But I know that I want to work with students. I have no idea what to do. Any thoughts or words of wisdom?

I'd consider teaching Adult Education or classes pt at your local Community College. The hourly rates are often quite good. To teach ESL you might not even need a Master's. If you are capable of teaching math those jobs are often paid extra.
You might look into also working as a teacher for a home schooling program, where you meet with your students once a month.
You might consider applying to teach classes online as well. Even tutoring at after school programs can pay quite well.
If you want to try teaching in k-12, I would recommend applying at private schools with small class sizes.
There are some sub specialties that would allow you to work with 1 child at a time in public schools.
Best of luck.
