Final Reflection


In my internship my goals were that I had to complete my 125 hours within ten weeks and learn something helpful for my future. I achieved those goals by going there every day on time. The important skill that I learned is how to handle the kids and how to understand them. I had a very friendly relationship with my supervisor and this gave me confidence for work in my future. When I started my internship, I felt like an adult because
worked in a professional way.
 My most memorable moment was the first and the last day of my internship. I was very nervous on my first day because I had to read a book aloud for the kids. This was my first time and I did it beautifully. The last day was so special for me because the whole class and teacher gave me surprise. They gave me a present and a beautiful card in which every kid wrote something for me. Then the whole class asked me to read the card in the class. All the kids surrounded me and were so cute and smiley and they hugged me. So it was very memorable for me.
 My thoughts are so positive about jobs, careers, and the professional world. I want to be a professional fashion designer and start my career after completing my education. After high school I want to be in college. The biggest challenge that I faced was to understand the kids’ writing and answer their questions in an understandable way.
 If I have to start a brand new internship next week, the two things I would do differently are that to teach kids about designing how to make patterns and designs. The second thing is to read book with kids slowly so they can understand everything.
 The advice I will give to the next interns is that they will have to be patient while working with kids and make a friendly relationship with them. I will miss the staff whom I worked with and the cute little kids. They were all so nice.
