UTRGV Upward Bound Internship

While interning for Head Start they gave me the opportunity to spend time in the classroom and in the office. In the classroom, the teachers included me in any activities of the day to help me learn what it takes to serve underprivileged children. I learned how to interact with parents that were not content and also learned how to interact with the children.

My internship at UCLA California Teach involved an education seminar and volunteering experience. During the education seminar, I learned about classroom management, learning assessment, and curricular planning. I also worked closely with Lead teachers and other students to addressed different issues in the classroom in order to provide better education experience for the students.

With this internship, I learned how to use my talents and skills to help others. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience the different aspects of the nonprofit sector. I learned about fundraising, maintained upkeep of the boutique, and interacted with clients during suitings. While I did enjoy learning more about how nonprofits operate, the part I most enjoyed was interacting with clients. In particular, what intrigued me the most was the fact that no client interaction was the same -each and every interaction captivated me and kept me on my feet.

I selected this particular internship because it revolves around education and communication skills, both of which are featured in my internship. This internship focusses on “informal science education and engaging the public about science”. There are a few similarities between this internship and mine. Science education is the primary goal of this internship and my internship focusses on teaching urban ecology. The second similarity is that you must be good at presenting information you have been previously trained on.

In addition to internships and supervised practice in the field, it is essential to acquire the ability to work with both troubled children as well as disabled children. I believe that volunteering at daycare centers as well as organizations that provide opportunities to assist disabled children, such as Children’s hospitals and charities. Volunteering and assisting children in these circumstances would be rewarding for both my qualifications for a job as a middle school counselor as well as quite rewarding for me, a change to help others in need and have an impact on their

For the past semester, I have been doing an internship at the Aging and Disability Resource

My brothers and cousins went from discussing what kind of job they would get after graduating high school to discussing what universities they wanted to attend. I believe that HACU has played a key role in setting high expectations within my family. Last summer when I had the opportunity of going to Washington, D.C. and interning for the Department of Veteran Affairs the standard of what is expected from my cousins and brothers was increased, and I want to be able to challenge myself and set a higher standard of what is expected and I believe and internship with HACU will help me achieve this. Despite the many adversities of being a first generation college student, I have managed to excel both academically and professionally. In the Spring of this year I will have graduated with two different bachelor's degrees from two different

Going into college at Ohio State my intentions are to have a career in public service. Through multiple internships thus far I have found a passion in serving for people. Growing up I have always felt the need to make an impact and give back to the community. Eventually, I hope to represent my community, the people of it, and those who are in need of representation. No matter what career path I choose, I hope to leave a legacy behind that will help the greater good.

This experience taught me patience and shows me what middle schoolers truly worry about, and what they place value in. Then, I am over the Kindergarten through fifth grade program at my church, this experience continues to teach me how to work with children in various age groups and backgrounds all at once, and shows me classroom management in terms of maintaining Sunday schedules. Then, this past summer I interned at a residential children’s home in Indiana. Where I lived onset with the house parents and children. From this experienced I observed and assisted in counseling sessions, planned and led recreation and Bible studies, and assisted in academic tutoring.

For 5 years I worked in local schools across most year levels from early childhood, year 4 through to students with special needs in year 6 and year 7. This period was opportune to experience and enjoy education to all year levels and a time of forging strong relationships within the school

I am pleased to offer my resume for consideration for the position of Upward Bound Coordinator for

One experience that made me glad that I did this internship is that I was really touched when a lady was saying goodbye to me after I drop her off at her home. She told me to take care of myself and to be a good girl. This experience touched me as someone I just met gave me some good blessing.

     I was able to be successful in this internship because I had to utilize and develop many new skills. I used my interpersonal skills such as: coping strategies; peer relationships and effective social skills; communication, problem-solving techniques, decision-making, conflict resolution, how to work in a team, where everyone depends on each other and a lot of patience. I developed many new skills such as multitasking, problem solving/decision making, and leadership qualities. I learned that I am a role model. It is important to develop a good relationship with students; however, I must keep in mind that I am expected to behave myself in a professional manner at all times. I also learned some of the important skills of a teacher such as: how to provide direct instructions, clarify content, teach skills and answer the students questions; help students identify their skills, abilities, and long term plans regarding education and personal problems.

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.
