Week 2.

How do you see yourself growing or changing over the course of your internship?

Over the course of internship, I have already seen myself grow in many ways. Since being here at HTe, i have notice that i have become way more patient and understanding of others perspectives. At first it was challenging for me to explain things to the students because i had to constantly repeat myself in order to get them to actually focus and pay attention. I have seen a great change in myself, I have also gained more respect for teachers. One main thing i have seen a change in is in the way i manage my time, working with fourth graders has taught me how to keep track of time in order to get everything finished on time. A lot of the time my mentor and i found ourselves re-thinking the daily agenda so that the students would have as much project time as possible without missing any important subjects like math or reading.

What lessons or experiences at you internship will you bring back to school to help you to further improve in your academics?

So far I have learned a lot during internship and I will definitely be taking it back to school with me. I think that the time management that i have learned is the main thing I will be taking back with me to improve my academics. I think it will help me focus more and stay on track with my studies. I have also learned how to become more comfortable with talking to new people and I know that will help me in the future as well.
