Externship has ended now and it was a great experience not only because I worked with youth and adults, it was great because my pastor (mentor) allowed me to find that work place enviorment. Such as she gave me samples of sermons and resources and she trusts me to get it done and critique it, I think at times I was stressing to get the work done but soon realized that's what it's going to be like in college so I actually appreciated all the work as hard as it was. It allowed me to balance out time between procrastinating and than realizing the work has get done. When not working with my pastor (afternoon to evening and on the weekends) and I had work to do, I decided to go to Starbucks since I seen alot of people get work there done. Sure enough I got lots of work done and drank the most coffee I've ever had but on a more serious note externship has allowed me to get the feel for the world work force. The work has to get done at a certain time because other people are realing on you. After externship I've been give the opportunity to preach once a none starting in June so I'm really excited of furthering my walk of faith and just being able to have a month where I can see the life of a pastor.

Externship is right around the corner from ending and as I reflect back it went faster than I thought it would but it was a great experience. I think many try to say they learn a lot about themselves but when you know yourself you don't have to go through that phase. This externship as given me an opportunity to better my skills when it comes to writing papers and still developing my flow as a writer. Within the last 3 weeks since finishing my papers I've learned a paper can always become better I've asked for for feedback on my paper from teachers, my mothers, friends and it's neat to see my paper only get better but also knowing that my paper is interesting enough to have people come up to me and ask to read it because of a friend or a teacher heard about it. I wasn't to big of a fan when it to writing but this has given my the opportunity to express my belief and opinion on topics in a respectful way. I think the best part of externship is hearing people's feedback on my paper and see the transition of my paper that was all of the place to really send a message to the reader. My work ethic has really changed in a good way of learning that managing my time and really putting in those extra hours at editing and doing my research. Below our my papers and the revision history and I will be presenting a hard copy or the before and after cope of both of my papers at my externship presentation of Learning (EPOL).
