Today was my very first day interning/shadowing at St. Timothy’s. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I felt very very welcome at the school. Throughout the day, I befriended and talked to many of the middle and lower school students there. One moment that stands out is when I was talking to students about their literature class during a break time. Despite the fact that they were in 7th grade, they were reading a holocaust book known as night, by Ellie Wiesel. Crazy enough, I not only the know the sadness of the story, but am actually related to Ellie as well. Their knowledge, respect, and understanding on the topic was outstanding, I felt very proud to represent my people and be in the presence of such respectful learners. My plan for my St. Timothy’s WEP experience revolves around my love of relationships, religion, medicine, and counseling. I will shadow a guidance counsel, reverends, and a nurse to have a greater understanding of how and why they do what they do. As always, I feel very grateful and lucky to have this oppurtunity and to be so graciously hosted by St. Timothy’s.
