How do you feel about your practicum experience? Following are three possible areas of focus and some questions to prompt you in your thinking and writing.

1. The practicum site and staff. How do you feel about what the organization does and how it does it? How do you feel about the staff you work with there? How do you feel about how they treat you? How do you feel about what you saw, experienced, and/or participated in the last time you were there? What might you have done differently?
2. The people you serve. How do you feel about the people your practicum site serves (clients, patients, consumers, students, residents, etc.)? How is working with them challenging any of your preconceived ideas or stereotypes about them? What are you learning from working with them?
3. What you are learning. In what ways are you challenging yourself in this placement? In what ways are you taking the risk to push beyond your comfort zone? How do you feel about those challenges and risks? What are you learning about yourself? What connections are you seeing between what you have learned in your different classes and your experiences in your practicum?
