The Beginning
• Before working with the residents, I had mixed feelings
- Nervousness
- Fear of doing poorly at my internship
- Anxiety
- Fear of not knowing what to expect

During the Middle of My Internship
• I began to:
- Observe instructors and see how they interacted with the residents
- I was more of a follower than a leader
- Developed a close relationship with the residents
- Brought enthusiasm and engaged residents in art/creative writing activities

What I Learned
• I learned the importance of being empathic
• I learned the importance of putting others before myself
• I, too, valued the four values of being a community believer
• I learned that these residents are no different from any of us
- They should all deserve the same dignity and respect just as anyone else
• Even by caring and keeping residents company, it can make that much of an impact on their lives
• I learned the importance of collaborative learning
• I learned the importance of community building with staff, residents, etc.
