Nicole's Preschool Experience
"I learned how to communicate with children. It's hard because they have a small vocabulary, so at times I didn't know what to say. [The teacher] also taught me about some of the learning skills that preschoolers need to develop. They have to learn how to hold the pencil the right way, so they can develop the muscles in their hands. They need to learn vocabulary, counting, and writing. I enjoyed my whole experience... I feel very proud of myself. I am a very shy person, and I have never done anything like this before. I was nervous to go to the school at first, but once I got there, I felt very comfortable. I feel like an adult. This is a huge accomplishment; and I will never forget this experience."
