After our discussion last week I went home, reflected on how I was handling this internship and decided to make a change. I want to make a difference not only by helping create a more positive life for someone but I want to help emotionally. I will not always be with Beatrice so I want her to have a good standing with herself. My goal is to help her see her value and strength so in the future she knows she can handle any obstacle that comes her way. I created two slideshows; one contained question-answer slides about herself and the other contained a break down of a personal statement.

Sometimes the work place can be very stressful, especially when you’re there almost every day and all day, so it’s okay to break away from the professionalism and just have a fun conversation with a trusted faculty member. On the other hand, I believe they both have a healthy relationship with those involved in both programs because they know how to assert themselves enough to the point where they are understood and the other involved still has respect for them. Sometimes the kids can mouth back to the volunteers and we do not know how to handle it sometimes, but Kelly Ann and Krystal do not have a problem with letting the kids know what they did wrong and what they need to do to fix it. I just don 't believe it is my place to get the same type of tone they have with the
