In March, I started my internship with
the AmeriCorps Organization at the
Hayward Unified School District. It is a great opportunity for me to be a part
of a program that helps and educates the community. I recently had the chance
to be a part of an awards ceremony honoring the young black men who are
excelling academically and in community service.
My assignment was to contact the
parents of the students receiving awards. I made calls, logged in information such
as current address, student name corrections, and sent out e-mails concerning
the event to parents.
I separated the students into two
categories--striving students, learners who are improving their grades and--thriving
students, pupils who maintain a B average or higher.
I had the opportunity to work on programs
and flyers for the event-using publisher. I even gave a presentation about
nutrition at a health fair for the elementary school students. In the coming
weeks, I will be learning some new programs and applying for positions in the
district.
Overall, it is a wonderful learning
experience. I hope to become a permanent member of the team.
