How has your experience with SuperKids Camp influenced your future plans, career or otherwise?
At first coming into SuperKids I had my mind made up that I would never be a teacher ( Still I have my doubts ) . Now , 5 weeks into the SuperKid counselor position I can say my perspective on teaching has changed tremendously . Being a teacher is a very difficult task , from children depending on you for all the answers to the very same children being inquisitive themselves , asking questions you didn't prepare to answer . I have the upmost respect for teachers after this summer for the jobs that they do . It is far from easy , but it so impacting , and rewarding seeing the end results . I originally came into SuperKids just to get experience being in front of a group of diverse children , in order to gain skills that I might need in my future occupation as a behavioral consultant . Being a counselor has definitely enforced my preference to deal with children in smaller numbers , but it has also opened my mind to all of the ways I can possibly help children with and the daily issues children of this age deal with and how they solve them (which will help me to find ways to help further)
Khadijah- I am glad that you have found working with your campers rewarding!
