Thank GOD that these four weeks is over.
Today was the last day of my internship and I couldn’t be more happy!
I woke up today with a smile on my face. Even though it was super early. Tired but happy. After all, today was the f i n a l day at my internship.
I decided to put makeup on and bring my style out. Skulls, makeup, fixed hair etc. I was going out with a bang. I haven’t been allowed to have my style because it would scare the kids. I had actually been there with some t-shirts with gothic stuff and that wasn’t popular but I don’t own all black clothes and I refuse colorful.
So I went to my internship, all “glammed” goth up and the kids loved it. They got to see the real me. They didn’t get scared. They asked questions like “what do you have on your eyes?” Etc so I told them that it’s makeup. They complimented me so so much on it. Some of the smaller children were so cute, they were pointing on their face – like the eye and then at mine and all off the sudden said “wow”.
The fact that no child were scared made me so happy.
When I was going (end of my “shift”) I went and said good bye to all the kids. Thanked them for having me and so many children didn’t want me to leave. They wanted me to stay. That says ALOT in my ears.
Four weeks, 35 kids and they don’t want me to leave. Yet the staff / teachers didn’t like me and caused problems for me.
All I can say is, thank God it’s over. I’m so happy but also so sad because I will miss all the kids. The laughter, jokes, games, hide-and-seeks, chasing each other, the bridge I did with them when they had outdoor playtime, and all the hugs.
I will not miss the staff (except the food lady. She was super sweet) and in my opinion, their fakeness.
Yeah they will probably read this. I know my teach do HEY MARIANNE! and she probably show the principal. Oh that reminds me, they want a meeting with me on monday . Yay.
Oh, did I tell you guys that I have been sued by the preschool teachers? Why you might ask.. well here’s the truth; a child were abusing and punched another child in the face with their fist (ok let me make it easier ; Punching child will be X and the child who got beaten will be Y).
I may have been a student there but when I saw X punched with the first smack of fist on the child Y and I saw the child X was going to do it again with the other hand, I instantly said No out loud towards the child. Note that I was the only adult who saw it! The other adults had their backs towards the situation and that’s why iam being sued. I said no to a child. Even thought I spoke with the child afterwards and explained that I got scared when I saw it happen and I didn’t want to see stuff like that etc. On calm voice and low level. I even told one of the adults what happened and this adult J said “sometimes a punch is necessary!” Like excuse me..!? Are you for real!?
So I wrote to my teacher after we had a meeting at the internship saying that I will back off, not intervene when situations like that happen again. I also wrote “if the adults and preschool accepts abuse and punches, I will let them do their race. I won’t do a shit “.
That’s why I’m having a meeting with them on monday.
So that has been one of the “highlights” of these four weeks. Yes I was sarcastic when I wrote highlights..
