I completed my 3-week professional experience at Fredrick Irwin Anglican high school and I am so happy with how it went; I can honestly say that at the end of each day I was there I was always looking forward to returning the following day.

In year 12 classes, I was worried that the students wouldn’t listen to me, due to graduating high school only the year before. Everything that they are going through; Mocks and Wace, I went through 11 months previously. They treated me like any other teacher, and surprisingly a few students asked for my opinion and experience about my own exams. Working with the teachers in my department was nerve racking to begin with but each one helped and guided me through every lesson I presented, giving me worksheets and ideas for my student. They all lent a helping hand and supported me through the three weeks I was with them and I am looking forward to seeing them in the future. Fredrick’s was very busy in the 3 weeks I attended, and I got to participate in all the events that were being held at the time. I assisted with the whole school sports carnival, helping teachers organises sports for students. I went to my area of study meetings and also whole school teacher meeting, where I had to stand up and introduce myself to everyone. I was a part of the school’s Founder’s week celebration and the new church opens and aided support with a year 8 incursion. Through my whole practical, the school, student, teacher and my mentor were always busy. Rust always made time to talk, answer my queries and lend a hand with my lesson, giving me a supportive and terrific time on my first professional

    Ethics is the broad theme of ISLLC Standard 5. The activities related to this standard provided me with a means to reflect on my personal code of ethics, explore ethics from the perspective of a district official, and to hear others’ perspectives of ethics in the school organization.

    The most enjoyable part of this academic year is that I got to learn Spanish for the first time in my life. It’s amazing of how I can understand most of the words in Spanish whenever I see it on the street or in the flea market. Moreover, I love being in Ms. Favela's class because I get to learn new things and at the same time, I'm also more creative, more sociable with others. Other than Spanish class, I'm surprisingly pretty good in chemistry, and the funny thing is I never thought that I could do well in chemistry. Still, I hate history and math.…

    A few weeks ago, I found myself on the second floor of the North end of the Unity Health Hospital, dressed in the nicest button-up shirt and dress pants I own, shaking so hard that my folder, which held my resume, cover letter, two pens, notebook paper and a cheesy motivational quote stuck to the inside cover, nearly fell out of my hands. My first job interview was an experience that I will never forget. My anxiety reached the point of exacerbation during the fifteen minutes that I spent in the empty lobby. I had intentionally arrived fifteen minutes earlier than my appointed time and was only accompanied by my own thoughts, which were fraught with worry. Had I arrived too early?…
