Fast forward a couple of months and here I am! I just finished my last 8 weeks of classes - EVER and my first week at my school full time externship in a middle school. It feels amazing to finally be done with classes and focus on what I truly am passionate about - providing speech and language treatment to kiddos.
I was apprehensive about starting my full time placement mainly because I haven't experienced living and breathing the full time work day and I didn't know if I could survive the 7:45-4pm work day. I was pleasantly surprised to find the day goes by quickly because I absolutely enjoy what I am doing. Finally I get to put all my skills to the test! There will be so many things that I will learn throughout this experience and I am looking forward to the growth over the next eight weeks. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful mentor/supervisor and her enthusiasm is contagious! I am excited to experience my first IEP meetings this week and learn the process.
Well that is it for now! I am thrilled to be getting closer and closer to the end of graduate school but in the meantime I am loving what I am doing!
Speak. Listen. Sparkle.
