A characteristic that I saw in my coworkers that I would like to apply to myself is being more assertive. I have always been the kind of person who is afraid to say no to people and try to please everyone, which is a quality about myself that I have always disliked. I noticed that the teachers tell the kids no or discipline them if the do something bad all the time and the kids don't dislike the teachers anymore for it. I would really like to apply this to my life and become more comfortable with saying "no." Honestly, internship didn't change my view of life after high school very much. Maybe it is because my schedule didn't change very much; I get up at about the same time, I am working/going to school at the same hours, and I am at another school (just teaching instead of learning.) But life seemed fairly the same, you work and then go home, do some work at home, rince and repeat.
