Response: This experience has evoked a lot of emotions in the time I have been with St. Mark so far. One of the main emotions is excitement. I have had the chance to be involved in many situations that have allowed me to gain experience and knowledge within this internship. Getting to gain these skills and experiences makes me excited to continue throughout the summer. That being said, I have also experienced what I would consider a little bit of sadness or sympathy. This past week there was a situation with a child that I got to be involved in and help with. A child in a class had a very rough day and was written up for a small fight and he got terribly upset by this and was uncontrollable and inconsolable. He was very worried that he was in trouble and that his mom would be mad at him. Once we were able to calm him down and get him back into the routine for the rest of the day, I got to be a part of the process of taking the next steps. His mom met with us after the program had ended for the day and we decided on a plan of action. We decided that we were going to move him to a different classroom for the remainder of the summer because we think he will be more successful there. It was very cool to be able to be a part of this process and get a chance to meet with a parent and not just listen but be a part of the thought process and decision making. While this situation made me a little sad and I felt bad for the child because he was struggling, it also made me happy that we figured out a solution that will benefit him and help him be successful in the program. There are many emotions that I seem to go through in a day, but some days go well, and I love tha
