Code of Ethics

                  I think I would be good for this job because I have high moral standards, I am efficient with my time, and I believe in being fair. I try my hardest to always be honest, trustworthy, fair, respect others, honor peoples beliefs in what they think is right and wrong, and respect people’s privacy.

                  I believe in the statement, “just because you can, dos not mean you should,”  to me that quote means that just because you could cheat, does not mean that you should. You should take pride in trying your hardest, you may have gotten a B on an important test, but you should be proud of yourself for achieving that score, instead of feeling guilty. I believe that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.

                  Being efficient with your time is so important. Being efficient also means being a hard worker. If you are not working hard, you are not working efficiently and you are not using your time wisely. When you are given a job to do, and you work as hard as you can and put everything you have into it, you feel so much better about what you have done. When you just kind of half do it and take forever, by the time you finish your just happy to be done with it. When you work as hard as you can and as efficiently as you can, you feel so much better about the task you have done.

                   I try my hardest to always be honest, trustworthy, fair, respect others, honor peoples beliefs in what they think is right and wrong, and respect people’s privacy. I believe in always being the best person I can.  If I am not being the best I can be, I am not the person I strive to be. I believe in being efficient, a hard worker, and being the best possible person I can be.

Internship Summary

Internship summary

Megan Ball

I am interning at Freedom Elementary School. I absolutely love it. I am helping in the 3^rd grade, I am not just interning for one class, I go around to all of the third grade classes and help out. Each time I go there are new challenges and activities. The teachers there are really cool because they would let me teach different lessons. I loved teaching because it taught me time management and how to better interact with the kids. I have had the opportunity to work one-on-one with the kids and I love getting to know them and teaching them.  One lesson I taught was on the phases of the moon. This was the first lesson I taught. I thought I had planned activities that would teach the kids in a way that they would understand, but man was I wrong. This lesson was a disaster. I planned an activity that I had expected to only go 10 minutes, and ended up going 25. The lesson was a disaster. The next lesson I taught on was math. This lesson I really made sure that what I was planning, would be educational, fun, and in the right amount of time. This lesson went better. There were still some bumps in the road, but it went better. As I kept teaching lessons the more I learned about how to teach in a way that the kids learn, and plan activities that were age appropriate. It has been so cool and fun to actually get in and help the kids learn. Instead of just grading and cutting paper, I have been able to teach and learn about how to teach. I have learned how to teach certain ways, and not to teach other ways. I have learned so much while at this internship. I learned that there are certain ways that kids will learn, and there are ways that they will not understand. It has been challenging but so fun.
