Week 4 Reflection

It is so hard to believe that this internship is over. I can't believe how fast it went by. Overall I feel like I have learned a great deal about school psychology and the many different things that it requires. I am very grateful that I got a chance to work with all the great people at the school. The whole experience really provided me with a great insight into practicing psychology.

Weeks two reflection

Overall, the week was very good. I learned a lot more about what it means to work in a school as a school psychologist as well as as a social worker. I enjoy the time I get to spend with the children in classes and on field day. I am enjoying all the time that I spend at the school and it is continueing to be a great experience that I am happy to be a part of.
