Final week

So this is it Saturday is graduation and it's all winding down. I printed my poster on Monday and I'm a little nervous about presenting it. Like what if they ask me a question I don't know the answer to.... Awkward! My poster is okay I just feel like it's too big but Sharon said not to worry so I'm trying not to. Other than that the internship is going well I'm really going to miss all these students I fell in love with them over the course of two months. I'm hoping to maybe do it again next year. Hope you all have a great week!

Week 11

Things have been pretty calm here at the camp. We started getting ready for graduation this week because the camp end next Saturday. I'm excited to finally get my freedom back but I know I'm going to cry when these students leave. Looking back although it was a difficult summer and I was tired pretty much everyday I am so glad that I did it. All that's really left to do as far as the social media class goes is give the exit ticket. Anyways hope everyone is having a great week, I know I am.

Week 10

So this weeks been pretty normal at the camp, the students did great on their presentations. I`m very proud of them. One of my old mentors came to visit me this week from Miami. So i thought what better to do than to take her to the museum. We went to the museum (this was my fist time) and we saw both the butterfly rain forest and the Wolf to Wolff exhibit. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I learned so much about butterflies and dogs. I had a great time and she did too. Ooh I also went to the planetarium on Saturday, it was cool i was just a little light headed throughout the show. Well that pretty much sums it up, hope everyone enjoys their week!

Hey guys!!

So these past few weeks have been pretty hectic we spontaneously took all the students to Georgia (that was a mess). Then this week we got 15 new students and we've just been working on making sure everyone feels accepted and what not. Oo and did I mention that the A/C's broke again..... Anyways the social media class is going well. Tomorrow night they have a project that they've been working on for two weeks due, I'm excited to see what the students bring to the table. Other than that the internships been pretty fun, I feel like my leadership skills have increased inmensly! I had no idea that I would grow this much in that area coming into it. So even though I'm exhausted 97 percent of the time I'm glad I chose to do it here.

Week 8

So its been pretty crazy here at the camp, feels like were always on the move and there`s always something that has to get done. You would think the students would be exhausted by the time curfew comes from all the work they've done throughout the day.... they're not instead they run around the dorms like wild monkeys. Anyways the social media class is going smoothly I had the students do a pretty cool activity for the YouTube portion of the class. I had debated using YouTube because it really isn't social media but I found that the students that didn't use social media did use YouTube and I'm trying to incorporate everyone. I'm glad I did that I got to see how competitive/creative these kids are. Other than monkeys jumping on beds and overly competitive students all is well. Have a great week!

Week 6 Que Calor!

So this week got a little hectic; after the A/C's had gotten fixed (before the students got here) they broke again this week. So we spent three days moving bunk beds and drawers from one side of campus to the other. Work out of the YEAR!! I'm a little tired its been a lot of work moving everything while staying on top of students making sure they go to class and complete the assignments. Sunday (tomorrow) is the first day I teach and because its been so busy I haven't really had the chance to look over my notes which makes me a little stressed. But I'm sure it'll all be fine! (: Hope everyone is having a great week.

Week 5 Staff retreat before the madness

So over the weekend we went camping (which I had never been before) and they also took us to the springs! (which I had never been before). Funny the first thing I did when I got to the springs was check the water to see if the springs were actually as bad as they had told us in class. They were! but i still got in, the water was freezing but it was all really nice. I had such a great time and the mosquito bites to prove it. Monday was the students first day here the room I'm in charge of holds eleven other girls who all seem great. Tuesday is a fun day so hopefully i get to know them a lot more throughout the day. Well that's pretty much it for my internship hopefully everyone is having a great week.
