midpoint reflection

My internship is way better then before because now I know how to deal with those kids because I understand them better then before. There is a big different between my internship and my school because my internship is just after school program also is not a regular school and is only for helping a home work and for project also there are two groups of kids that arrive there first one which is that old group that come every Mondays and Wednesdays and the second one which is the youngest kids this group come every Tuesdays and Thursdays, and every Fridays the both groups come well sometimes only f they need help in project or homework. Well the thing the I learned and I always wanted to learn is how being a patient person with a kids which that help me a lot because in the future I want to be a kids doctor because I love kids and now I know how to be patient and sweet with them and I don’t make them sad or mad. My relationship with my mentor just hi and bye and sometimes like playing games with a kids, well my mentor is really nice and he always help me when I need it, but I don’t always talk to him because sometimes I feel shy to talk to him but when I need help yes I have to ask for it. I felt like am growing much better in how to act with kids and of course being nice and sweet and patient with them. Even though my internship there are all Arabic however I speak English with them because most of them have been born here in America even some of them doesn’t but they all speak English very well and we all use English even they are speak Arabic they don’t use it that much most of the time they use English with each others, which that mean I improve my English a lot by talking to each others. Another skills that I learned is about the Arab American family support center which is about this center was a long time ago and it was about helping kids by their homework and by doing their project and doing activities so the skill that I learned is by how to help kids and how to ask them if they need help. My hard time is when I finish my work at 4:30pm and get home at almost 6:00pm and trying to cleaning the house and the time trying to finish my homework and study which I have to stay up till 12:00 am to finish my work and then come to school late which if I come to school I will lose 5 points from the Do Now which I hate before I use to do my Do Now and never loose points but now I do that’s when I have a hard time. My goal is to do a good job at my internship. Also is to help the kids as much as I can and to be there for them when they need my help.
