My name is Ngoc Tran.

00:00:02.070 --> 00:00:06.350 align:middle line:84%
I'm in 12th grade, and I go to
Highline Big Picture School.

00:00:06.350 --> 00:00:10.370 align:middle line:84%
After high school, I want to
go to college for statistics

00:00:10.370 --> 00:00:12.650 align:middle line:84%
while minoring in
education and eventually

00:00:12.650 --> 00:00:15.780 align:middle line:84%
get a PhD because I want to
teach at a college level.

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:18.810 align:middle line:84%
My day here at Big Picture
looks different every day.

00:00:18.810 --> 00:00:21.330 align:middle line:84%
On advisory days, I
would go teach math,

00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:24.690 align:middle line:84%
or if it's internship days,
I would do Running Start,

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:27.630 align:middle line:84%
come back to school, and try
to find myself an internship.

00:00:27.630 --> 00:00:30.740 align:middle line:84%
Or if I already have one,
I would go there instead.

00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:33.050 align:middle line:84%
My favorite thing
about Big Picture

00:00:33.050 --> 00:00:36.450 align:middle line:84%
is seeing students at
their internship sites.

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:38.640 align:middle line:84%
Once they get their
first internship,

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.310 align:middle line:84%
everything that we're talking
about starts to click.

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:43.800 align:middle line:84%
The idea of projects,
their learning plans,

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.250 align:middle line:84%
how we use the competencies,
all of these things

00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:48.470 align:middle line:84%
start to make more
sense to the student

00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:52.370 align:middle line:84%
once they are out
in the real world.

00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:54.860 align:middle line:84%
Big Picture gave me
many opportunities

00:00:54.860 --> 00:01:00.080 align:middle line:84%
to get experience and go out
and apply those experiences.

00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:04.590 align:middle line:84%
My junior year, I interned with
Bow Lake Elementary School.

00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:07.950 align:middle line:84%
I was an assistant teacher
to a fifth grade classroom.

00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:11.870 align:middle line:84%
I gained experience in not
only teaching, but interacting

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:14.150 align:middle line:84%
with students and
really preparing me

00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:16.860 align:middle line:84%
to what it would be like to
be a teacher in the future.

00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:19.370 align:middle line:84%
If I go into a new
job, I would be

00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:21.890 align:middle line:84%
able to get comfortable
and put myself out

00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.760 align:middle line:90%
there and be ready to learn.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.970 align:middle line:84%
It really prepares
me for the future.
