Always be patient with kids. Biology says kids don’t sit still and be quiet for very long. This is a fact that needs to be accepted, not resisted. Do what you can to help kids learn, and make sure they respect you. However, don’t set unrealistic expectations.

Students should always apply to positions that interest them/offer experience in their desired career field because if they don’t get the job then they learn more about what traits are desirable for those positions and if they do get the job they will have an amazing opportunity to live life in their dream job and start to create a network that will be so valuable later on.
