Reflection:
How did you feel on the first day?
What did you do to show that you are a professional?

On the first day of the practicum it was difficult for me because this is the first time
that I have the TP in the college because always I'm in the school, for that I have some
difficulties and my feeling it was scared before I met my MST and students. After that
when I saw my MST and students I feel some comfortable because my MST explain
for everything and help me any time when I need help and I try to contact with the
students and help them while they are have issues with some questions then I move to
ask my MST a few questions about my task and he gave me the information that I
needed in the task. I do many things in the class to show my MST that I'm
professional. Firstly, always I do my best. For example, I have to come on the time or
before the class starting, I help my MST If he will give the students the paper I help
him, and clean the board or write some information he wants. Secondly, I should be
honest with my MST If I have any issues I have to tell the truth to my MST. Thirdly,
supporting others. I have to support the students when they face some difficulties and
they can't do the work I should support them and help them to encourage them self to
do the work. Finally, I have to being a positive and say for the students the positive
information to help them to think and study well.
