Where I heard about this job… http: //www. hr. az. gov/AZState. Jobs/AZ_job. Srch. asp (The Office Arizona Government Jobs Website) 2

What I thought About the Job Opportunity… I took a brief moment and considered my past internship experience and saw a pattern. Each year I skipped around, as far as grade level was concerned, attempting what I thought to be challenging. After Having no interest in teaching younger children, for fear becoming “ 2 nd mommy” if you will, I decided to stand up to the challenge and found out I actually loved teaching younger children. The next year I focused on middle school interning in a visual arts program so I would also get the challenge of teaching creativity, I found that I enjoyed it and did well but it wasn’t totally fulfilling to me. I am still looking for my voice as a teacher as well as my niche or area where I feel I respond to most affectively, and it is because of this I feel such a connection and drive to intern at your school. In order to grow as an educator, thinker, and human being I must expose my self to all different types of life, expanding my horizons; heightening sensitivity and over all awareness. 3

Three ways this experience can help me… 1. Expanding my experience inside the class room/opening me up to new methods of teaching 2. Teaching me new strategies of instructing students with disabilities 3. Weighting my overall awareness of disabilities “bringing textbooks to life” 4

The Bigger Picture… Internship New Perspective Opens more academic doors Promotes motivation Instills drive Immerses me in my degree program Encourages me to finish school and become a teacher Motivates me to grow as a thinker Enhances the education of our future generation s 5

Three ways your School, Staff, and Students can benefit from me… 1. Extra help for teachers alleviates some of the daily stress making the daily flow of the classroom much smother 2. Not only are you exposing a young mind to the type of compassion we need to bring in to this world but you are brining awareness to your school 3. Helping to pave the road for a new generation of educators 6
