Today was my first day at MHS with Mr. R. In all the day was rather informative and slightly eventful. Not having a lot of experience with high school aged students, I found Mr. R very helpful in easing my nerves. My biggest concern with working with high schoolers is that I am relatively close in age to them, Mr. R said that although we (the students and I) are close in age that I should still present and carry myself like a professional. I feel that there is a large difference between high schoolers and elementary aged students not only in stature but also in attitude towards both art and their teachers. For the most part I felt well received although there were a couple of students who seemed rather stand-offish. Overall the first day went really well and I'm really looking forward to continuing my experience at MHS.
