I still don't know what the future will hold for me or what career that I might want to pursue, but this experience has definitely opened my eyes to many opportunities. Just like my mentor told me to not worry so much about not knowing the career that I might have one day. Instead embrace and take all the opportunities that are thrown your way, these will all lead you to what you will become and help you find your passion. As I take on this internship opportunity, I do feel that it has been preparing me academically and professionally. I have learned so much already from the two weeks that I have been here, and still have so much more to learn and do. It hasn't just been one specific person's job that I have been able to observe, but many different peoples jobs in this office, and as I make my school visits. I recently visited a ESL classroom at a middle school, with a wonderful teacher. Her passion for teaching the kids, and how much she put into the teaching she did was amazing. It made me realize that whatever my career does end up being, I want to have that same fiery passion and drive for it.

I like how honest you were about not knowing what you want to pursue. Not many people know what they want to do and I know that know matter what you do, you will find that fiery passion!

As I'm reading your blog, I've become really interested in the work that you and your mentor have been doing. I want to know more about what you are seeing in the classrooms you visit. As an English teacher who struggles with teaching students who are more comfortable with the Spanish language, I'd love to know some of the strategies you've seen that work and the strategies that don't. Maybe you could add a blog post about this?
