I feel amazing about my internship. With the work that I will be doing, I am giving teachers a student’s perspective and helping to tailor curriculum that is already innovated. I am working at the SDUSD Office of Innovation. The purpose of this office is innovating (obviously) traditional schools’ curriculums in order to better teach a changing generation. This is everything that I want to do. I believe that education can be such a beautiful and amazing thing, so long as it is given in a way that prioritizes learning over “success”. Helping others has always been a passion of mine, it genuinely brings me joy to be able to make sure that other kids get better experiences. This is something I actually struggle with personally, I feel like a lot of people don’t see my passion for others as genuine, or that I just do it bc it “looks good”. However, I know that with the pain and the “bad” experiences I have had, it makes them better to use them for good. So maybe it is selfish, but at the end of the day, if I’m able to turn my, or someone else’s hurt into good, it’s a win no matter what. I think the role that I will be playing at my internship is one that should be a given position everywhere. School districts everywhere should have student voice be valued as we know ourselves better than any survey. By providing real student voice and perspective, I’m helping other students, and that makes me very, very, very happy.
