Tutoring

I was asked by my guidance counselor last semester to start tutoring in a special aid room. I began tutoring 2 7th grade boys in reading. I didn't really enjoy it that much but I was getting volunteer hours from it. That was why I decided to do it. Sometimes it was inconvenient if I had homework to do but that was ok. The boys were fun and I enjoyed the teachers also. But as the semester went on I started really enjoying it. I looked forward to seeing the boys and the teachers. I realized that I can make a difference to the boys. And the rest of the kids in the room. We dont really do a whole lot of work but when we do do things the boys are improving. I can tell it from just a few months with them. We also play a lot of games in Mrs. Tinder's room. When the boys and I didnt have any work to do we play Mancala or War or Uno or Garbage or whatever. This morning we played war and laughed a lot. It was good times.One of the boys is a very grumbly sort. I come 1st period so he is still pretty tired and cranky. I think that is why i was frustrated in the beginning. He can be very difficult to work with and I respect Mrs. Tinder and Mrs. Flug for doing it. I didn't think the boys liked me or were getting anything. But I came anyway and felt bad when I missed. I realized that I was making a difference to my boys and helping the teachers out a ton! So I have decided to continue to tutor and not only am I tutoring my boys 1st period every other day but I decided to use my other study hall 6th period every day and am now helping the other kids in the room. It's a great experience and I am glad I decided to do it.
