Today was the first day of
internships and I had a great first day. It was kind of a slow day but I still
got to see what I would be doing. I met a lot of the staff and my two mentors
are awesome. I got to sit in on one session with a student and the social
worker and it was so eye opening and amazing to listen to. I got a background
on where this kid came from and then listening to him talk and seeing the pain
in his eyes was unreal. I only got to sit it on one session today but I’m
excited for more as the semester unrolls. I’ll also get to do home visits to
really see where these kids come from and their stories. The kid I met today
really opened my eyes and to realize all 700 other kids at this school comes
from that blows my mind. Another girl I talked to today said she loves being at
school and when she doesn’t have school she constantly asks her mom when she
gets to go back. She was so sweet and it made me happy that she appreciates the
opportunity she is given at Christel House. They said tomorrow I will be more
busy and I’m very excited to be there. I really think I’m going to learn so
much from this experience.
