Reflection:
This was my last week as a practicum student at MUW.  I am very happy to have had this experience, and I enjoyed my time at the "W" very much!  That being said, I am very excited that practicum class is almost finished! Woo Hoo!!!! 
This week was relaxing compared to other weeks I have had, however I feel like I learned just as much.  I called different community leaders to see if they needed volunteers on August 14 for MUW's Annual Day of Service, and calling these people helped build my communication skills as well as helped me network. 
Thankfully, Brooke and I got to spend some quality time together this week at MUW, and this made the hours go by more quickly.  One day we got to fold t-shirts and wrap gifts! Such fun!!  We also proof read the Welcome Week schedule about 5 times apiece, but it is now perfect.  I never knew how much planning went into events- even down to the very smallest details!
Thursday we got to go to a going away party for Flapp.  He has accepted a job at Jackson State and will be leaving MUW.  A lot of people are very sad about him leaving, but still wish him the best.  He is an awesome guy, and I am glad I got the chance to know him. 
I forgot to take any pictures this week, but thankfully, Brooke stole my camera at one point, and she took a little picture for me!

 

Thanks, Brooke!

I hope all of y'all have had great experiences this summer! (:
