Topic: Final reflection of my internship experience

My experience at MusArt has been a great one. I still work there and will continue to work there for a while! Hopefully through at least until I go to college. I feel so fortunate to have gotten this internship. It fits me perfectly and I love going because it is so fun. I think it's been a valuable experience that will help guide what I want to do in my career. I want to work some place where I am excited to go everyday!

Topic: The major problems/ frustrations in my work and how I handle it

The biggest problem I have at MusArt is probably troublesome kids. Usually the kids are pretty good but sometimes there are a few that give me issues or sometimes when I have the whole group of campers, it's hard to keep control of the room. When this happens, I just have to remind them that I am in charge.

Topic: What I have learned about myself and what I want in a career

I have learned that working with kids can be a tough job and only certain people can do it! You have to be a patient and sympathetic person.
Sometimes it's hard for me to be a leader but through this internship I have learned to take charge of a room full of children and teach them or give them instructions. You've got to really show them that you are in charge and if you do that, they'll respect you and do what you say. When my supervisor walks into a room, I can tell that everyone knows who she is and they all behave well.
I hope that in my future jobs I will be able to take what I have learned at MusArt and put it to good use. In my career I hope to contribute some good and use my talents to help others. I want to love what I do and become successful in what ever I do.

Topic: Career/college plans

This job has really opened my eyes to a lot of different things like how the business world works. It has not really changed my plans in what I want to do but music education is something I have always wanted to do and I am going to keep that option open as I decide what I am going to pursue. Right now I want to be a graphic designer. But I also think it would be awesome to give private lessons in Harp or Ukulele as a job. I love kids too. I am thinking about not majoring in harp but doing harp in college and maybe joining an orchestra or something. Another thing I have thought about doing is teaching English in France, and this job has given me experience in teaching that will be valuable if I decide to do that.
