My Work Experience at a Primary School For my work experience I received a placement at Primary School. It is located in Wyke, Bradford and provides education for children aged three to eleven. I attended High Fernley primary school for two weeks; my work placement began on 27 September and ended on 9 October. Each day I arrived at 8.30amand normally finished at 3.10pm; sometimes I would work slightly longer in order to finish tasks. I did not attend a pre-placement
I sprinted into school and up four flights of stairs, and returned to the announcer’s booth. When I arrived, I was exhausted and disheveled, and worst of all the game had already begun. I turned the microphone on and caught my breath. The silence that filled the stands was overtaken by the laughter that filled the crowd as my co-announcer and I cracked corny jokes and encouraged everyone to cheer for the powder puff football game. As my voice hung over our entire high school community, I understood

I have decided to pursue an MSW in clinical social work at the University of Calgary because I am interested in working with women who have been affected by domestic abuse. The idea of helping these women help themselves by increasing their own resilience is something that resonates with me on a personal level. I believe too often in our society women continue to be treated as victims, which perpetuates the ideology that women are weak. The paradox of abuse is it weakens one’s self-esteem, yet those
Practicum really helped me decide on which school level I would like to work at. I did my practicum in a high school and my overall experience with it was good. The work I did with the Seniors was satisfying; however it did help me realize that I want to work with elementary aged students. From my experience in Practicum, I was able to see that many high school students’ problems are developmental and age appropriate. This was a little bit of a challenge for me because I had to realize that these
When I began high school I couldn't wait for the four years to be over so I would not ever have to set foot in classroom again. The idea of finishing thirteen years of school was all I could think of. I knew my parents expected me to finish strong.

As I made the walk into my first hour, geometry, my first day of high school; I thought to myself I would never pass this class, I am a freshman in a sophomore class and I have not been taught any of this before.

However, this was not the case, high school classes were much different then what I had thought. Many teachers were easy on students, gave less
running through my mind as I begin the most important year of my entire high school career. Every morning as I sit on the bus on my way to school, I can’t help but replay a time during my freshman year when myself and everyone else around me weren’t sure if I would continue in school long enough to see my senior year. It was the first month of my high school years, I was as nervous as an incoming freshman could be. I had no idea how long and strenuous my years at Bensalem High School would feel.
