Despite my degree being in literature, I minored in cultural studies which included but wasn't limited to sociology, psychology, education and so forth. Due to the extensiveness of my educational practice, I got to intern in multiple classroom settings. I had the opportunity to intern at a culture based daycare to teach Japanese to children ages 2-5 and to be an assistant teacher in a social justice literature class with students age 14-16. Outside of internship experiences, I was also a classroom aid at the local daycare near my college and also volunteered to teach Japanese at the accommodating elementary school. During the summers, I worked at day camps with children from low-income families ages 4-16. Through these diverse experiences I was able to learn how to create engaging lesson plans and adapt to the environment. I was also able to gather a sense of leadership and teamwork by having the chance to both lead and assist in classroom settings.
