We are here to answer any questions you may have and make this the best experience possible, even though it is difficult. Why should we choose you for our program? correct answers I believe that I possess a combination of skills and experience that make me stand out from the other possible candidates. I know that San Antonio is highly populated by hispanic and often underserved families. i have experience working extensively with hispanic patients as a spanish medical interpreter. I specifically completed an internship at an afterschool program that serves low SES and hispanic youth. I also lived abroad in Costa Rica for a summer, which allowed me to immerse myself into their culture. I believe like any other aspect of the healthcare experience, cultural competency should be highly valued. I know that i understand some cultural differences for hispanic families and i am sure that I would be able to identify those as a child life intern and adapt my interventions to be respectful of their differences. Describe a difficult time you had with children correct answers While nannying for a family, I took care of 3 girls each day after school. The girls were 9y/o, 13 y/o, and 15 y/o. The girls had difficulty with having to do their homework when we got home from school. They would try to postpone their school work, fight with each other, and play around. I had to sit down with the girls and explain to them that their education can affect their success in the future. The girls liked to go to a gas station for treats after school sometimes so i set boundaries for the girls with their homework. If they had a good week, did all their homework, then we could go to the gas station on fridays to celebrate the end of the week and the hard work they did that week.
