Reflection 12

It is the second to last day of internship, and I can already feel everything coming to an ending. The part that I’m happy about is everything finishing, being over, and having that great relief feeling of accomplishment. The part that makes me sad is the people, the fun times, and all the memories. Walking into the office today, knowing what the date was, is what made me just think, “wow, it’s almost over and I can’t believe it? In the office today I organized all my work and quickly wrote observations on my student’s journals. I really didn’t have a pack of load things to do though, because everything’s done, and smoothly lay out. I already knew how the agenda was going to be, and I was excited. When two o’clock came around, I left the office and head on out to school after school. Today was the day of presentations, and my students presented their projects, which was the scrapbooks and my internship project. 7th graders presented within each other outside, and 8thgraders presented within each other outside. I was proud of them and proud of myself, for accomplishing that. After presentations were over and it was time to go, I grab their scrapbooks and explained to them that I needed them for my senior exhibitions, they were worried and made me promise them that I would bring them back to them some way somehow. This Saturday is the last Summer Bridge Saturday, which the theme is LTCIA, leadership, teamwork, and community building in action, and it takes place at the Wheeler farm! I’m excited; I can not wait, to have fun with my kids, play fun activities and games, eat a lot of food and candy, and get surprises. Internship is coming to an ending because after that it’s one more School after school session, and also the last day of internship actually that same day. After that Wednesday, Monday the 8th graders graduate, and I taught 8th graders so it will be my students graduating Summer Bridge. After the graduation all teachers, volunteers, faculty, and administrators are going out to eat for one last time. I know that I’ve been part of the program for only one year, but I feel the sorrow, I honestly think that tears will be coming down my eyes. I would’ve never imagined how much attached I got to Summer bridge, the teachers, students, Rameka, and how much summer bridge changed me and made me become such a better and loving person. Next week it’s over, and I’m happy to graduate and finish internship, but I will miss the summer bridge atmosphere.
