For my senior project I explored the field of child education. It was a good way for me to start thinking about what I want to be when i persue a career, it also made me step out of my comfort zone. I also had to learn new communication skilss, I'm not a good person to communicate with others especially when I'm not sure about something.
For the hours I did i had to collaborate with the lady that I had to work with and it was an amazing apportunity because she actually gave me great advice on how I should approach the children. With her at my side we came up with new ideas to help the children with their homework, not just math but with sight words and diffrent activities that they were given.
Some challenges I faced with this project was that I had to reach further then my comfort zone, as I tend to be very shy and conservative. This project helped me get out there and the lady I was working with made me read infront of the class, eventhough they were just second graders and their parents I got very nervous and it did help for a little. I had to talk to Ms P to help me overcome those fears.
This project helped me grow more as a person,because at first I didn't think I was going to be able to do this project I got my self esteem higher, also socially a learned how to approach the kids and their parents I know how to make conversation with them. I fained a lot of intellegence because working with the kids I got to use my creativity to come up with new games to help the children with any subject they were having trouble with.I have grown a lot since the beginning of this project because I used to think that this project wasn't going to help at all decide on what I wanted to do when I persued a career but in reality it did help me see that even though working with children isn't easy it is defenetly something I want to do later on in life.
