Summary
From first trying to be a infantryman in the marine corps, to completing a one year college program getting a certificate in Collision Repair Technology, spending three months in California and now working part time as a special needs counselor I could say I learned a lot over years such as hard work, able to find comfort in discomfort, being resiliant, punctual and above all being respectful. From these four different experiences, I found being a special needs counselor is the most rewarding due to me being able to teach the children different things throughout the day from homework, different perspectives, food and bathroom etiquette and manners. To being a special needs counselor it teaches me to always be positive and to be the best person I could possibly be. From being in stressful environments and being around all types of characters, I learned to be calm and resiliant which helps me to calm down any child that is misbehaving or a child that has been triggered. Overall I try to learn different things to further better myself and to learn or hone any skills which would help me, I make sure to learn from any mistakes and take accountability for any wrong doings so I can learn and strive to be a better worker.

- I prepare the classroom for it to be in use by putting out bean bags, floor mats, children's folders, toys, paper, pencils, and markers.
- I make sure to pick up children who are dropped off at the front lobby by parents or the bus driver and guide them accordingly to the classroom.
- I make sure every child has completed their homework properly.
- I ensure that every child I take to the bathroom washes their hands appropriately and manages cleanliness.
- I encourage children to do things on their own before asking for any help, such as doing homework or having disagreements with fellow classmates.
- I ensure every child respects one another, including counselors, by teaching them manners, correcting them if they misbehave, and showing them how I carry myself around the classroom.
- When a child creates something, accomplishes a task, completes their homework correctly, or helps myself and the counselors clean up the room, I make sure to praise them or give positive remarks to the child.
- If a child asks me a question and I don't know the answer, I search for the answer on the internet with the child so we can learn it together.
- I try my best to give my attention to every child individually.
- I try my best to teach children different perspectives so they can think more about others than themselves. Examples include sharing, talking to classmates and counselors with manners, and having proper eating etiquette.
