My Internship Personal Statement

I grew up primarily in Foreman, Arkansas, which is a small community. It was great growing up in a close community environment, and it resembles being part of a large family.

The classroom teaching experience and a chance to work under experienced teachers are the most important to me regarding what I want out of my internship. Even though I have been a teacher’s aide for several years, I still would never get what I can from my cooperative teacher during my internship. Hopefully I will learn the finer details of teaching from my cooperative teacher, including ways to improve my teaching, how to maintain classroom discipline, how to plan successfully, and how to deal with students with different abilities or learning problems. Out of this list, I believe I need strengthening in all. In teaching, there is always room for improvement and learning is always an endless cycle for improvement. This is why I really do not have any concerns regarding my internship. I feel that there are numerous benefits in joining a student teaching …show more content…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    In my college career which has been around 4 years now, these first two weeks are the first of any trimester or semester that instead of being enrolled in classes, I’m enrolled in an internship. This is definitely a change from the norm but at the same time it is exciting as well. It gives me the opportunity to use or observe some of the material that I have learned so far in my classes at Johnson & Wales in a real scenario. This internship allows me as well to gain much needed additional experience in the sports and athletics industry and will give me a more holistic view of the athletic program. It will allow me to see many different roles and see from various projects what parts of athletics I like or dislike since I am overall still open for the future to a variety of roles in the sports industry…
