Reflection Paper On First Day Of Internship

882 Words4 Pages

First day of my Internship. My work is being involved with students having concerns at school with grades, behavior, or socializing and working with the counselors. The goal of the program is that these students need special attention for them to advance in school. A small number of these students have issues with misbehavior, having conflict with teachers and other students through their conduct.
The first day I familiarized myself with the students I will be working with, and learned a little about their background. A certain amount of the students I met with had conflict at home, facing straining familial situations. Others faced private issues, including autism and anxiety, consequently making interaction with other students very challenging. Fortunately, the school takes a role of keeping track of students that require special attention, and set up check-ins and mentor programs for them to have a school support system. I am to be involved in this support system interacting with them as a positive example, and helping them socialize and improve their relations with others. Because of my age (since I’m younger) there is the belief that they will further confide in me, seeing me less as an authority figure and more of an older brother figure. In particular the young boy’s, whom may lack a positive male role model at home. In my first day, I have only managed to introduce myself to these students, but hopefully they will confide in me further as the semester internship

    These students at Hope Academy all have disabilities and taking extra time out of your day will help them develop learning skills and also help them become more sociable. From all the information given about Hope Academy I knew what to expect as soon as I walked in.

While volunteering you can tell that everyone there loves their job and enjoys every bit of developing the students.

    Moon decides that she will create a few example small group lesson plans to show the potential effectiveness of group counseling to her principal and school staff in order to potentially reinstate group counseling. In the meantime, she will ensure her student’s needs are being met and continue to promote her self-efficacy while providing a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for her to speak freely. This is especially important given the conservative nature of the community. By developing Irina’s confidence and autonomy, she prepares her for future encounters where she feels comfortable disclosing her identity and receiving support from other trusted people (perhaps even her parents). She will provide the student with various resources from the community and help her in any way possible through this time of transition.
