Before the holiday break, I was on track, in gear and rolling. For the first time, a placement was really working for me and I didn't want it to be over, as I have with all three of my other placements. While I enjoyed elements of all three of those other practicum, when I got a couple months in, I wanted out! This time, that wasn't happening.
Cue holiday break. In that time, I had time for reflection, further reading, discussing what I was doing, as well as some freedom. I was able to put my internship out of my mind for a well needed rest. Well, a couple weeks in, the doubt started in on me. Was I doing the right thing? Am I any good at this? Should I really go the route that I often joke about and go into accounting? Sigh...
Well, yesterday was the day I got back on track. I saw a couple clients that I've had some real success with, and got some solid feedback that let me know that I was doing a good job. I really needed that.
