Expectations
My career day expectations were to shadow an English Learner Development (ELD) teacher and help out with the students and learn how to work with students that are new to a new country, new language. I also expected the teacher to be there on time and receive me, the students being friendly with me. Help out to pass out paper, being able to participate in class. If any of the students had a question be able to answer them.

Reflection
I personally missed being in that classroom, when I used to be in that school my job every break or lunch was to make little class and answer any questions that they had in whatever subject that they had. When I was an English learner I wanted to get out and learn more. After I succeed in getting out there I missed being there. When I was there I was observing everything and I felt so happy because all the students saw me as a friend, as someone that they would like to become in the future. I loved being there, enjoy the day and spend time with a teacher that is a strong woman and loves to help students. I hope I can go back next year to do my internship because I would love to help out with anything that they need because is what I love doing and I would live to do it for the rest of my life.
