Firstly I would like to clarify that this post will be quite brief as I am yet to start my placement.

However I am making an effort to speed up the process. Today I emailed my mentor who is also my former secondary school PE teacher. This is the first time I have made contact with her since she agreed to help me with my placement. In the email I briefly explained what the placement should consist of in terms of the required hours etc. Furthermore I also asked my mentor what she thinks would be beneficial for me to do during my time in the school.  I feel like I should have attempted to sort this out sooner in order to be better prepared for the presentation however I continued to delay this unnecessarily.

Therefore this has made feel slightly anxious that I may struggle to complete enough hours between now and my presentation to get a good mark as I work part time as well as attend university. On the other hand I am also confident I will be able to make a good arrangement with my teacher as she was always helpful during my time in school. I am intrigued to see what her plans are for me during my placement while I am also excited to gain more experience in the career area I aspire to work in. I believe this will be a very rewarding experience for me and I look forward to acquiring new skills as well as building on the ones I already possess.

Overall I look forward to my mentors reply and plan to take action to make my placement as convenient and valuable as possible.
