Midpoint Reflection

My internship is at Academy of talented Scholars School. The primary service is that children are learned knowledge and this school gave children’s good future and implement effective classroom lessons. Teachers provide individual and small group lessons. My expectation for my internship is different because I thought that kids will not be cooperative and friendly. They will not understand me because this was my first time to work with the kids. However, after just spending one week with the kids, my thoughts changed because I feel comfortable while teaching them because they are very friendly and smart kids.
 The similarity between my internship and school is that I learned things. At school I learned from books and teachers and at internship I learned from kids and different peoples and build confidence that am very helpful for my future. The second similarity is that we have five mint break and my internship students also have five mints break. The skills that I learned at my internship are to be patient. I thought it’s very helpful not only to handle the kids but also very helpful in others situations and for every job. And the other skill is that I learned how to handle the kids and how to work with them and understand them.
 My relationship with my mentor and coworkers is great. They are very helpful, kind and friendly. My mentor taught me how to work with kids and handle them. The communication skills that I gained at my internship is that before I did not speak confidently but now I speak confidently and I improved my English as well and learned new words. I have been grown a lot of interacting with professional adults by communicating with them and became responsible. We have to behave with everyone in a mannered way and dressed professionally.
            One challenge that I faced during this internship is to understand children’s because they speak very fast. My internship schedule is very comfortable because I get home as same as before my internship. So I have enough time to finish my homework and projects. My primary goal is too learned as much as possible and secondary goal is to gain more experience. By going to this internship I learned how to use the bus when I am alone.
