four weeks into internship

The full name of my internship site is Arab American Family Support Center. I work for kids and help them by their homework or project. Also making activities to them including valentine day, spring break, Halloween day, Christmas, a different type of holidays. So I do fun activities with them, also I play games with them, I make teams for the girls and boys, I make posters, I hang it out, I also recognize the classroom before the kids arrived. My site provide at a program after school, by doing homework, project, those kind of stuff. What I do regularly is help kids y doing their homework and help them in their project. There are questions I would like to ask is how MR Paul is so patient with kids? How does he give hint to students while he helping them in their homework? Why does the kids likes him? Whenever my mentor doing homework with kids and he helping them he don’t just give them the answer he give them hint if they don’t get it he make it more clear to them s they can understand it. One memorable thing that happened at my internship was I have to go stand at the bored and write some things, so I was very nervous and everybody was staring at me, so it was really not good at that moment. What I enjoy about my internship is that some kids are been nice to me and respect me and appreciate the job that I do to them, also I enjoy the time that I spend with the kids by helping them and having fun while we doing activities and stuff like that. There is nothing challenge for me at my internship so everything going well there, and am proud of what am doing over there.

My site located in borough hall, court street 150. I leave the school at 1:45 or 1:30 pm and it take me about 50 minutes or an hour. I arrive at home at 5:30 or 45 pm it depends in how the train or the bus. My schedule is I come to my internship at 2:30 till 4:30 everyday. My mentor sign my time card for me which is MR Paul or sometimes his assistance Jack.

My internship has changed a lot from my first week because I was nervous, and feel wired when am around the kids, and I never talk to them, I just help them and that’s it. However now we get more along with each others because now I know all of their names and so as them. Also I became more friendly with them, when some of them finish their homework I play games with them, also I make activities to them and now they love me, and so am I. and things are getting better now because, and everything is going well now.
