Katherine-Journal Entry- November 12, 2020

During these months of my CAS experience I have developed different skills that will help me in my future. An example of this was my HR project developed a couple of months ago, I had to give extra classes to a second grade student from my school. During this project I had to develop different skills in order to succeed. This experience helped me understand different methods of teaching and I gained knowledge about english teachers and information that could be useful if I decide to study for being an english teacher in the future. 

Before taking this challenge I was scared of not being able to help the student improve her english vocabulary and not knowing how to teach her the content she needed to know. In the same way I felt worried about having issues with my communication skills since this is my weakest skill and was the most important skill I needed to manage during the project. 

Nevertheless I felt happy to have the help of Miss.Stoneleigh who was the second grade english teacher, she helped understand different ways of teaching and gave me feedback of what things I needed to search in order to inform myself and complete my tasks. Through the process of completing this project I felt more confident with the way in which I communicated with others since I had a very good communication with Miss.Stoneleigh and this made everything easier for me.

In the same way I surprised myself for being able to manage my own classes and help others to gain knowledge. I know how hard it is to learn a second language and I felt happy to have been able to help a member of my community to learn english.  Due to quarantine I had to make these classes online and made everything more difficult since learning in person is easier, but I was able to overcome this problem and put all my effort into helping the kid.
