I got placed in the Early Childhood Department‚ I was a helper to the teacher and her assistant. It was a great experience to get familiar with working with children.

On Thursday‚ February 23‚ I had an interesting encounter with 2 deaf people and 1 hard-of-hearing person at a restaurant. I never saw it coming‚ but I’m so happy it happened. On our way home from church‚ we decided to pick up something to-go for dinner‚ so we decided to pick something up at Denny’s. While waiting for the food to be ready‚ an elderly man came up to us trying to sell us a spinning top. He explained that it was out of support for finding the cure for prostate cancer.

These students have never participated in a standardized test‚ so it was not only their first experience on a multi-hour test‚ but also at the same time it was my first experience testing brand new students in the school. Challenges went from bubbling all the answers the first couple of questions‚ to frustration because they thought they needed to fill out all the open-ended answer documents

That moment was filled with so much unknown‚ but it was the nurses who remained by our sides never letting us go through that experience alone.

In the fourth grade I had finally built up enough courage to run from the student council and from there I worked my way up through the years. Student council has given me countless opportunities of leadership experiences that has made it easy for me to stand out in a crowd. An experience in which I knew the hard work had paid off was when it came to planning prom. The few other students working with me had slowly began to contribute less as it came closer to the day of prom. Leaving our teacher

However‚ not everything was always peaches and cream. The good does come with the bad. Although I immensely relished learning psychology‚ I can say without a doubt what I least liked about my learning experience was all the stress that I felt.
