Well, I did get respond from the MPLS community learning center. I found out that, I will be helping, the adult students with home work and tutoring once a week. I'm looking forward to working with the adults there, for many personal reasons. One of them is that, most of the adults there speak the same language and lives the same community as my mother, and I thought that I could help them out and help my community as well. On the other hand I’m most afraid that they will treat me like a child and not listen what I have to say. Because in my culture the oldest help the young not the young helping the older. I think that is the biggest challenge I’m going to face....

The way in which you talk to an older person will make a difference. Speak with an aire of respect for them and they will respect you. Be humble, talk with reserve.-Relax- you will do fine, because you already show concern! - Rita (Staff member, Purdue Univ. Engineering Library-Lafayette, IN)
