Experience
Throughout the semester I felt very connected to the students and to the environment of
teaching. Therefore, I put many hours of thought into the possibly of making that my career.
After the first semester of my senior year, I came to realize that education was not for me. Over
the two years of working with the students and the teaching environment I realized I was not
going to be able to do it for the rest of my life. I did know that I love kids and I would still love
to continue working with them, therefore I have decided to become a substitute teacher next
year. All these decisions were hard to make because deep down I know I would love to be
teaching the future leaders, but I also know that helping people in healthcare is my passion.
As to my experience in my internship, I was able to work with kids that were loving and
caring and I came to love spending time with them. Most of the students were new to me but
others I had already known from the past year. Therefore, I knew how to work with them, on the
other hand I had to learn how the other students learn and work. Over the semester I worked with
every single student and got to learn a bit about them which made being in the classroom
extremely comfortable. Mrs.Richardson has always been an amazing teacher and showed me
numerous things about the education field and for that I am incredibly grateful for. She has
helped me when I am struggling with something and has given me all the support from choosing
my career.
Therefore, this internship has shown me so many things and I am so grateful I was able to
experience this opportunity. It gave me the chance to properly understand the educational career
and that teaching is not an easy job. It also helps me make my final decisions about teaching and
how I will manage to continue working with children in the future. All that said, this internship
was a great experience and eye opening for many reasons, and I am very grateful for it.
