Work Field Reflection

I knew what this class was about when I entered it. I knew the work I was up against. I knew it was all or nothing. Knowing all of this, I still slacked off and my grade suffered. Of course it’s no one else's fault but mine but I’m stubborn it took a couple of classes for me to finally learn some work field values that I never thought I really lacked until I stopped to think. For one I’m always late and that is not good for entering the work field but the answer wasn’t as simple. It takes 12 days to establish a habit so they said. I never made it a habit to be on time until this class. For all of the assignments it was all or nothing. If a second late that would be a zero. Like I said again i don’t learn from my mistakes that easy I have
missed a journals. There is no excuse. Coming to my next mini life lesson excuses mean nothing.No one cares about your problems it took a long time for me to learn that. You want to believe that giving a person a reason to why you're late for example is going to help them feel better but no you are still late and now you're wasting time talking about something no one cares about. At first it's hard to accept but once i got that motion in my head it was easy to understand it just meant I was going to have to step my work up. Following that is Organization, this is the one thing I have struggled with so long but I learned that the best ways for me to stay organized is throughout spiral notebooks and folders. For the evaluation sheets they were so easy for me to find because they were organized in chronological order in the folder. Even though I had gotten better doesn’t mean I cleaned up my act for good but this was the start of a good thing for me.

My internship site was at Mableton Elementary School.
I have learned a lot by being these kids it's been a rollercoaster ride everyday. The first thing I learned was being adaptable and flexible. When I enter the room, I basically am learning with them I get the information and then I go and help them understand. I also walk around the classroom if they are doing stations and I help them understand. So basically wherever they need me I am there since that's my job. Since I'm with these lower age kids I have learned to hide my frustration and turn it to inspiration. This has helped me so much with these kids because on some day they are just awful, they make your blood boil. When these days occur I breathe in and out thenn think of something to really benfit the situation. Although other people might not think it’s a grreat skill I really like the spotaneity of thinking of ideas to help the class. Another thing I have learned throughout internship is explaining things in multiple ways. Since some my students have learning disabilities and read little English I need to be able to explain things differently so they can understand. I really like that I have obtained this skill because I feel it can prepare for my career in business. Since in business sometimes you need to persuade others and being able to explain ideas, thoroughly and in different ways can work to a great
advantage.

This portfolio has been a great wake up call . it shows how the professional world work and I learned that I needed to work fast but work with quality. As I was proof checking my work in my portfolio I noticed that my so called final drafts were poor rough drafts . I was working to aim to get to the checkpoints that I didn't realized my work wasn't good . Again procrastination was one o my worse enemies. I learned quickly that missing s checkpoint led to a great drop in my grade In all i'm very glad to have this class because I have learned values and necessary items that other people don't have the chance to get until they figure it out.
