Personal Narrative: My Field Experience

Improved Essays
1. Feelings I had about my experiences and what I did or observed today:
I went into this field with a somewhat negative mindset. I was very upset about how far the school was from my house and heard negative opinion on this field experience. However, when I left Lafayette Elementary I had a completely different mindset. I really like the teacher I am assigned and love the dynamics of a resource classroom. I look forward to the future weeks and all my teacher has to teach me.
2. How my prior thinking was reinforced or challenged:
Originally, I was not planning to enter the Special Education field. My Block 1 reinforced this opinion, but I strongly believe that when I am done with this field and begin looking for potential teaching positions,

    Time stands still, frozen like New York in the wintertime. And all I can hear is the fast da dum da dum of my palpitating heart. Adrenaline spikes in waves through my clammy body. I look straight at the brown wooden door in front of me and pretend it is the audience. Taking a deep breath of the musky air, I envision myself bold and confident.…

    First time I enrolled in a music class, I was six years old and discovered a world of sounds and rhythms that, in a few years, turned into pieces of sheet music and instruments I wanted to explore. After three years of music classes for kids, I decided to learn how to play the flute and dedicated myself to the tricky task of making sounds through steady blows and precise finger movements. I believe that most of my determination were strengthened during that time. Furthermore, I joined a choral group when I was 11 years and, in addition to singing, I learned a lot about teamwork. We had to work together in rehearsals to get harmonies right and sound good as a whole, besides we were our best companies to overcome anxiety before auditions.…

But no one answered, I didn’t know what was happening. The last thing I remembered was me and my partner getting shot at, trying to lock up a criminal for robbing a local gas station. I unhooked the machines from my arm, and tried to push open the door.…

    With this opportunity to experience the job of both a paraprofessional and a special education teacher, I have just reaffirmed my plan to become a special education teacher. The internship has helped me realize that the job as a special education teacher isn't always all fun and games but it is extremely rewarding. I watch as my mentors go about their day with a sense of love for their job, which is what I feel just getting to hangout with the students at the middle school. I feel so incredibly prepared for my future, I sometimes thing I don't even need to go to college. I love both the ups and downs of this profession, this is my dream job.…
