Due to privacy policies protecting children and their families I wasn't able to take any pictures myself during my internship. The experience was really amazing and fun. My end goal of my education is to become a psychiatrist but I didn't and am still not sue what to specialize in. At the time I considered being a child psychiatrist because I thought it would be great if I child had a problem and it was treated early so that they can continue their lives more manageable than if treated as an adult. Children are so impressionable.
The slightest things may really have an impact on their mental health. I met all these wonderful kids at this internship and seeing how much they enjoyed to have someone to play with was really touching. You get the opportunity to give a child a smile and maybe even feel more special at the end of the day. This was a really rewarding and educational internship and I am considering returning to the center as a volunteer in the fall.
