I think I used all the leadership skills equally. I used thinking critically to come up with new ways to teach the kids their names and numbers (1-10). I also used completing projects effectively and collaborating productively because I had to work with my mentor to figure out what my project was going to be and how I could teach the kids. Furthermore, I used communicating powerfully because I had to communicate with the kids and show them how to write their names and numbers.

About Professionalism
As a result of my WLE, I think being a professional or a responsible adult in the work world means that you have to know how to handle situations with people if something bad happens. You also have to be able to think on your feet.
About Finding a Job
In order to find my WLE and get hired, I had to find a place that had internships then I had to call to see if it was possible for me to intern there.
The most effective way of looking for a job and getting hired is by being polite and have a resume, showing that your skills and what you are capable of. Also tell them why you think you are right for the job but don't be too assertive.

It's shown me a new skill I didn't know I already had. I love kids, they are so funny and sweet. You know what they say, " Kids are our future." So I believe that we should spend more time with them and see what our future has to hold.
