some memorable moments from the short practicum

First I would like to talk about the math clinic that I was participating. Basically the clinic is an after-school help for those students who struggle with math. On the day that I was helping, we had two special guests. They were two deaf students. It was my first time helping deaf students with their math homework. It was a surprise for me that they are taking math 12 and calculus. The fact that they are disadvantageous compares to other students and yet willing to take the challenge really inspired me. It is very encouraging for me to see them wanting to learn more than just what’s required. The other heart-touching moment for me was when I was observing the dance class. There’s a student with Down syndrome who was in the dance class. The teacher was teaching them how to do a full turn. This student kept on doing two 180 degrees turns instead. While it was entertaining to watch but it was the fact that he never gave up that was heart-touching. Near the end of the class, he finally figured it out. Seriously, at that moment I can feel the tears in my eyes. These were the two most memorable moments in my short practicum.
