One of the benefits of working at Thinkabit is working with my hard working peers. We all get a long very well and jump at any moment to help one another. One thing that strikes me about working at Thinkabit is how fast the relationship grows between the teachers and the students. In the beginning the the students are very shy and afraid to share their ideas but Jen is very friendly and helps them to get more comfortable with the class and sharing, so the bond is made very quickly.
One of the things that surprised me about my job is how much patience I don't have. As most people know children can be very difficult and sometimes don't always cooperate with what is asked of them, so I am little worried that I won't have enough patience. However I am hoping to gain more patience and learn from this. I'm very excited to continue to work here however and learn more about engineering careers because I have never put interests nor any effort into it, but I'm excited to expand my options and really learn from this externship.
