Camp Aid

June - August 2019 • Sewickley, PA

What I liked

The experience helped shape me as a person and future clinician. I was able to have a fun summer while helping another person enjoy theirs as well.

What I wish was different

I wish I got paid a little more (who doesn’t) and I also wish I got to work with more than just one kid.

Advice

You are in charge of your own experience/success. I took it upon myself to search for a job that fit my interests. It took me sometime and the application process was also time consuming. The amount of effort and time you put into something reflects the amount you’ll get out of it.

Special Education Classroom Aide

May - July 2018 • Sewickley, PA

What I liked

It was an extremely humbling experience where I had the unique opportunity to grow and learn while also selflessly serving others. I worked with children diagnosed and living with a wide range of physical disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Seizures, Rett Syndrome, and many others. I was able to work on life skills with them through working to meet each of their individual PT, OT, and Speech Pathology goals. This was so exciting! To be able to recognize that they may not be able to learn the same things as everyone else but are still able to learn and to grow and being a facilitator of that growth was one of the best experiences of my life.
