Batch 5: Free Write Life as an Intern
Life as an intern has been a lot of fun. I have gotten to work side by side with teachers and students. I feel like I now have a better idea of what life is like as a teacher and I am really enjoying my experience. I have learned a lot about how to make daily lesson plans and how to prepare for the day. I have also learned some teaching strategies, how to get students to attend, and proactive strategies for student learning. Sometimes, interning has its challenges. It is not easy being the one who has to do the menial work like chores, classroom cleanup, and data entry. Although interning has its challenges, I have got a lot of experience doing meaningful work. This week I got to sit and chat with some of the students. I even got to teach a little bit. I was teaching prepositions in, on, and under. I presented the teaching materials that I made and sat with a student and ran a few work trials! It was a lot of fun and I can't wait until I can do even more. This week has been the best week yet!

Monday's are usually the worst day of the week as they make it seem like the weekend is too far away, but clearly your Monday was better than most peoples. I am excited to hear that your internship is turning out perfect and that you are getting the most out of it. Supporting your community and working with the younger generation is one key point that many of us do not encounter. I wish you the best of luck with your future!
