❏ Things my supervisor might say about me
❏ That I am reliable
❏ That I am caring
❏ That I know what I am doing and takes directions well.
Skills Learned
❏ Acting with diligence has help me with my internship
because I often times asked clarifying questions about
what we are doing next, if the counselors needed my help
with any other thing and how to handle situations which
was necessary.
❏ I learned how important was to be dedicated, because
when I was working with the children they wanted me to
play games with them and I was right on willing to interact
with them.
My Successes
❏ I learn that working with kids can be fun, but also very
tired, you have to be very patient and be able to listen
and I think I work that out, because my supervisor
didn’t complain about me and I often ask if she liked my
work.
❏ I had a productive summer, I meet new people, improve
some of my skill, got to work with some amazing kids
and teach them Portuguese, did work very well but they
remember how to say hi.
Areas of Growth
My weakness was with
communication, because sometimes I can
be a little too shy, I knew I needed to work
on it and I feel like I did because I ask a lot
question and talk to all the kids that I was
working with I asked for help when I
needed it, I still think I can work on it a bit
more.
Also I improve on remembering peoples
name, but the end of the first week I was
able to know most of their names.
What’s Next?
❏ Get a internship in the health
department.
❏ Future plan is to become a
Orthodontist
❏ My internship did not help me get
close to my long term goal, first
because to become a orthodontist
take a little longer then a teacher
assistant and require more level of
education.
Advice
● Don’t be afraid to interact with the
kids.
● Be Positive
● Be the role model
