Much to my delight, I was able to begin and end my internship the same way. My last day, December 5th, was another STEAM program. This one based on space and the solar system. I was surprised to see how much the children knew about the planets, especially the younger ones. As someone who was always fascinated by the stars, this program was right up my alley. It was also a significant use of my knowledge. While I did not get many high-fives, the kids were still very interactive and excited to show me their projects. My favorite project for this program was one that gave kids a constellation to take home. Cut-outs of various constellations were there to pick from, then one is attached to an end of a toilet paper tube. Once secured the children were able to use flashlights to shine the constellation on the walls. This was a project that every child took home and were very excited to try out at home that night. Though I learned a lot less than I had expected about the departments and the system, I still value what I learned. Some of my favorite shadows included people like Beth and Penny, because they always had something for me to do. I also enjoyed my time with Becky, because we were able to talk about things that I was familiar with. While I feel that I missed out on community interaction, the time I did have gave me opportunities to grow. Although these were all youth events, it was great because I could use my knowledge. I felt that this was especially the case with the
This semester was an exciting semester because we were given the opportunity to work with students from Hopewell Valley High School. The field experience was eye opening and I learned so much from this experience. This experience has impacted me personally and professionally is so many ways. From this experience I learned that no matter what you have planned, you would always have to change your plan to meet the needs of your students. The one day we were doing the scavenger hunt, my group had to change their plans because one of our students could not walk all the way to the pool. Instead we had to improvise and take him to another area. A lot of the time, time is not on our side and we plan so much and are not able to get to all the activities planned. I also learned that we were able to have so much fun with such simple ideas. My favorite experience was seeing all of the smiles on everyone’s faces when we were doing activities.
First Year Seminar is a beneficial, getting started-like course provided by West Coast University during the first term of the program. Since the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is very rigorous this course is helpful in adjusting new students, such as myself, to a very demanding, fast-pace program. This class focuses on topics that help students organize and understand oneself and the mission of WCU mission to achieve the greatest success as a student. In my Signature Assignment term paper I will focus on my experience with FYS and what information I’ve gained to help me understand my learning style, strengths and weaknesses I have as a student, how working collaboratively benefits me and how I will go about achieving success at WCU.
Continuing into the rest of my high school year, I had many different opportunities to make a difference. I attended 2 more mission trips, each impacting me more, but I also received the chance to be a member of National Honors Society. Being a part of NHS has also opened my eyes to many new experiences. Through NHS, I was able to go to a nursing home and talk to the elders, trick or treat for non perishable food items for the food shelf, and help at a blood drive through the high school, put on by the American Red Cross. No matter what we were doing, my life kept changing and my passion kept growing.

II.Internship process
Wow…Midterms already! I cannot believe how time is flying by. Just like that we are now half way done with this semester and I been at internship for two months already. I am happy for the opportunity I am having at internship, but at the same time I wish I could pause time or slow down time. I feel that every day it is going so fast that I can barely breath, blink, and rest, as I feel I am always rushing. I am even seeing my granddaughter grow too fast, which makes me wish I could have more time with her. Coming into this semester I thought that I would be easy as we are done with our thesis, nonetheless, I feel it is the opposite. I feel that we have a lot of work going one. Therefore, I feel more tired and at times overwhelmed with the limited time I have available in my days. A good example, is today I am writing this paper, it is midnight, and I just ate my dinner. I know this is not good self-care but to keep up with internship, school, and work paperwork, there are nights I sacrifice by working on assignments late. I even feel the difference now that we are required to do twenty hours of internship but I know this is a scarifies to my end goal, which, is completing the master’s program. There are nights where I am even sleeping less than five hours. Hereafter, I will just have to continue to push myself to continue to complete this semester and do my best at school and internships. I have to also incorporate self-care as I have noticed a difference when I apply
Being a volunteer at the Miami Book fair was superb. I volunteered from Friday through Sunday and each day I experienced something different but exciting. On Friday, I decided to wear a costume to surprise the children that were there on a field trip. I wore Ms. Piggy costume and my friend Grismary along with a girl name Ashley guided me through the campus. I waved and embraced the kids while stopping for them to take pictures with me. The experience felt like I was having a nostalgia, because I shared a joyful moment with loving children that reminded me of my own childhood. On Saturday, my friends and I went roaming around the campus during our break. We won candies, hats, shirts, and a glow in the dark yo-yo. I felt thrilled and eager to
Throughout this experience I’ve gained a better sense of community. Being around people who wants to make a difference in their community, no matter how small, is truly gratifying. The little things make the greatest impact. It may not seem like much, but there’s bonding in everything. You haven’t bond with someone till you’re sorted through piles of clothes, toys, makeup, books, and that sang and dance afterwards. Not because we were done but because there was pizza, and we were happy that there was pizza. In the end, we all learned that giving back in important.
Thank you, so much for still allowing me to do the internship in the Spring semester. I know I'm very disappointed as well, I just was informed last week by my career advisor that I had to take an extra class in the Fall semester, which was really disappointing. Also, I will put the word out that you are looking for an internship in the Fall semester, and I will also keep contact with you throughout the Fall semester.
Not surprisingly, this semester’s internship has posed the most obstacles and challenges but coupled with many new understandings, it has been my most productive. The end of any school year is busy and adding 45 additional hours of responsibility poses an arduous mission. In reflecting on my understandings, I realized that my internship experience could be compared to McTighe’s Understanding by Design concept. Ultimately, the goal of the internship experiences was to able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the semester, combined with that of past semesters, and demonstrate who I am as a professional teacher leader.
The internship that I acquired during the summer of 2010 at the Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center (GSIRC), allowed me to gain an immeasurable amount of experience during my tenure at this facility. Within this period, the exposure to new concepts within the physical therapy industry allowed me to observe and work hands on with patients of all ages and disabilities that exposed me to various treatment plans and programs to restore client’s mobility. The essential Physical Education and Exercise Science (PEES) courses taken at Lander University were beneficial to my academic knowledgebase, which prepared me and developed me for the opportunity within the physical therapy discipline. Working as
This summer I am interning at Carmen and Muss P.L.L.C. a small law firm here in Washington D.C. It is a real estate law firm run by member Mindy Carmen. She started her own law firm in the private sector working with government contracts after years of working in the public sector in various parts of the federal government. Over the past few weeks working in the office I have gotten the opportunity to grow closer and learn a lot from Mindy. Who is also my internship supervisor. In my internship I work with her and her assistant, Marissa, a current law student at George Washington.
It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.
The reason I choose to follow an internship abroad is because I wanted to benefit from the unique experience offered by the environment as well as opportunities. My goals were to learn, improve and develop new sets of skills that might be helpful in my future life.
For the first eight hours of my service learning experience, I spent a day at the Boys and Girls Club. This club is an after-school and summer childcare program that serves youth in the 1st through 12th grade. During my volunteering, I worked with the elementary age group. I have never really worked in a setting with a bunch of kids, so I was a little nervous but also very excited to see what it all entailed. For the first half of the day, we spent time organizing and preparing for the annual Halloween party. This showed me just how much work it takes to put on an event like this and how orderly you need to be. For the second half of the day, I got to help with the games and to also play with the kids. During the Halloween party, they had very many activities for the kids to partake in and also had treats, prizes, and music. It was really awesome to see what the Boys and Girls Club does, and to see how many lives they impact on a daily basis. It takes a lot of staff and volunteers to put on an
After this internship made me realised how diverse engineering fields and there is so much new knowledge to learn, considering myself with electrical power engineering background working in construction site which may related on civil engineering field. When I studied the project plan documentations, there is some new term and I need to find extra information on the Internet myself to understand more about the ongoing project. Having said that, knowledge that I have obtained throughout my study in ECU proved to be useful such as basic CAD, mechanic and material courses during my first and second year which make me easier to understand the structure drafting of the floor plans.
