Mentorship Profile: Chase Silvia

Mentor/ Employer’s Name: Sue Miller and Joe Schroeder.

Mentorship Location: West Tisbury School.

Number of Periods: 4 periods.

Brief Description of job: While in the gym classes, I help set up activities, keep the kids safe, and make sure they follow the rules. In the math classes I help the kids if they have questions.

Like/dislike about internship/mentorship: The thing I like most is that I get to see kids from 3rd to 8th grade and they know my name and I know the kids that will eventually be in the high school. I dislike that some of the younger kids overreact over everything, like when they take a loss in gym too seriously.

Influence of job experience on post graduation life: I want to become an elementary school teacher so this experience has been a big influence on my decision.
