Post 7-Thank You Letter

May 18, 2012

Dear Delia!!!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the support and encouragement that you gave me during my internship at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. You were a mentor for me but also a teacher from whom I learned and gained a great deal of experience. Yours and other co-workers’ warmth made me feel welcomed and at home. I appreciated that. It was great working at the museum but working with you made it even better. You made the days feel easy and fun. Thank you for being there to help me with everything, especially the first day of internship when I was completely lost and didn’t know what to do. With your help, I faced my fear by touching the snake and the cockroaches. I also learned the best ways to handle the kids.  Because of your mentoring, I’m now able to read a book to my little brother like a professional teacher.  Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be confidant enough to read to a whole group of children.

You also helped me grow as a communicator. Your advice on how to talk to unfamiliar people each day made me a better communicator and improved my language skills. I’m really blessed that I got this opportunity to work with you and with all the other museum co-workers because it was an amazing and a very friendly crew.

I wish you the best of luck on everything you do. I hope I will have a chance to come visit you and everyone else in the museum.

With appreciation,

Genita Vokshi
