I have enjoyed creating my product from my internship experience.  I have experienced challenges and successes.

Challenges:

• One of my main challenges I have faced during my internship is trying to decide out of all the information I have learned which pieces or parts am I going to use to help create my product.  I have learned so many different ways employees in a health care setting use daily math.
• Another challenge I faced when creating my product was being able to write it with enough explanation that any teacher could pick the lesson up and teach it without the same experience I have had here at the hospital.  Making sure I included all details and also provide enough background information that the teacher could teach the lesson as if they had had the same Kenan Fellows Experience.

Successes:

•  One success I have had while creating my product is the excitement of being able  to bring what I have learned back into the classroom and creating a product that will engage my students.
• Another success has been the helpfulness of my mentor and her guidance throughout my entire experience.  She has been wiling to do what ever and go out of her way to help me create an engaging, hands-on lesson. Not only has she helped me create my product and give me ideas when I would get to a point that I could not think of anything else to do but also help me coordinate a Health Care Job Fair for my 8th graders.  This will give my students an opportunity to speak with someone from every department here at the hospital and learn what they do, what type of education they need for that specific job, income, and etc.
