Previously, I interned at a bilingual school in DC. It was a Latin American Montessori bilingual school, and the biggest challenge that I faced at that internship was the age gap between me and the instructors of the after-school program that I was an intern for. In education, I think that the older someone is, the more respected they are. The school that I interned at was a school for anywhere from toddler age to fifth grade, so a lot of the students saw me as their older sibling, and I feel like that didn't allow me to get the same respect that the instructors did. I thought that this would be a disadvantage, but at times, I was more easily able to relate to these students because we were closer in age, so it actually provided as an advantage in relation to some of the older members of the team, and especially when it came to interpreting between Spanish and English, sometimes there were slang that they used that the older instructors did not understand, and I was able to interpret back and forth.
