Career's meeting/Work Placement (27/01/14-28/01/14)

I had arranged a meeting with the person who organised my work placement to discuss possible options  for after I finish college, which took place on Monday (27/01/14). I did find this meeting very useful, and because now that this person is aware that I am now considering what to do after my time at college, they can now help me further into finding this. This also made me aware that I have a lot more options than I thought I had, which was very reassuring. They also said that I could always volunteer at the school my placement is taking place after my placement officially finishes until I find something different that will help me find a future career. I think right now, even though most people my age seem to be at Uni, I don't really want to go to Uni, as I feel I would find it too much for me to get used to.

My placement has been going well, and I do feel I have tried my best on my placement, and I feel it has truly been a success. My art therapy sessions I organise for the children at the special school my work placement takes place are very well received, and I feel I have a good working relationship with the students and staff, which does make me feel really good. I do sometimes find it hard to explain things on my work placement, and the children sometimes find it hard to understand, and I feel I'm still not used to the authority I have there, and I really don't want to get frustrated with the children, but overall it has been a very positive experience so far.
