I am working at elementary school " Academy of talented scholars". My mentors name is Mrs. Lots. She is pretty nice person, she always trying to help me and students that are at the same site as me. Every one is nice toward us teachers, principle, people in the office, even little kids. When I arrived at this site my first thoughts were that I’m not going to like this site. I wanted to leave right away but two days that I spent at my site I realized that it wasn’t so bad. First it pretty close to school, second kids are kind with you but not all of them obviously, but I have my own methods to deal with this kind of kids. My first goal for this internship is to learn how to get along with little kids, well basically I’m going to improve this skill. I’m assigned to 1st grade. I work with little kids. I’m helping them with math, I spell some word for them. I help the teacher with piling their homework, tests, some other paper they need into their folders. I also help out in office we make bulletin boards, labeling books, putting books into different shells and labeling them as well. This is pretty much I do at my internship so far and I’m enjoying it.
Three questions i have about my internship are:
1. What specific skill will I be able to achieve?
2. How should I ask my mentor for increase responsibilities?
3. How will this internship help me with my college application?

Your internship sounds really interesting. What are you learning about yourself as you work with your mentor and the first graders? It sounds like you have a variety of tasks to do which keeps you engaged and interested in your internship. I am curious about your method for dealing with the kids who are not so nice.

Albert, Great questions. A question I have for you - Having worked for five weeks now, how do you feel about the idea of becoming a teacher one day? It seems like you do really well with the students and teachers and I can tell you are gaining skills. You're listening, giving instructions, organizing, and learning how to model.
