365 Things to Smile About Day 279. First Week!!

Well, today I finished my first week of my internship and it was a really good week!  A lot in my head and I am trying so hard to fit an 8 hour plus day in each week.  The problem is when you are first starting out that there isn't always 8 hours of things to do in a day!  But I managed it!

I got to teach in my first week and plan a lesson for next week!  I saw several different clients and personalities and learned new ways of teaching already:).  I spent time figuring out how I would explain a specific area and learning the new areas to teach in.  And I met a lot of really kind and wonderful people at the regional office!  I found out that the person in charge of the regional office is also a cancer survivor and we had a great conversation and bonding moment when I mentioned a fast doctor visit during chemo in connection to her being late from a doctors appointment that day and her response was "I thought that was a port scar I saw yesterday!" and the conversation ended with a big hug with both of us fighting back a little emotion!

So yes, this is the place for me right now:).  So many lovely people here and a fun and knowledgable supervisor (who has taught me not only O & M but also how to do the beauty queen wave!) and a lot of good experiences all in the first week!  Lol!
