End of Internship

Friday was my last official day of internship and it was a truly amazing experience. I will be going in on Monday to say goodbye to the children and the other staff who have made a huge impact on my life. Being an education major who wants to go into the field of autism and special needs, I was able to grasp certain concepts that would be almost impossible to learn in the classroom. Although some days I was just plain exhausted and felt like I could not handle what was going on, I was able to get through and come out with so many learning experiences. One thing that makes me feel more comfortable in my leaving is that the new intern that is taking over is a Linfield alum that I know very well so I will be able to get constant updates on what is going on with the students that I have had the pleasure to spend my summer with. It is honestly very hard to type up my weeks because so many things happen and everyday seems to meld into the same day but I have learned so much and am able to better understand the field that that I want to go in.
