The Saga Continues
Since my last entry I've been to the tutoring center only twice. It's been really hard to find times to go in to help. The center now usually closes at 3:00, so I have to miss one of my classes in order to get a few hours completed. As of now I have a total of 5 hours completed, which isn't near enough. Hopefully I'll be able to help for a few hours this Friday. I talked to the coordinator and I might be able to chaperon a field trip for next week. I think that would actually be a really fun experience.
The last couple times there have only been a few students that showed up, and they rarely need help. Usually its just a question here and there, nothing major. Maybe it's because I arrive later in the day. I don't know. They're usually pretty friendly though, and it's eye-opening for me to see how teens living in a different area compare to people I went to high school with. In some aspects they are completely opposite, and when it comes to some things they are very similar. I like being able to interact with teens who are a little younger than me, so I can help them through things that I've already experienced, but old enough for me to connect with. Even though getting hours in to fill the community service requirement for my architecture class has been a definite set-back, its still rewarding to lend a hand when someone needs a little extra help.
