Damn the Man

I helped out a new kid today, Ben. I met Ben in the computer lab, where he was playing a bunch of different computer games (he was kicking butt pretty hardcore). After the computer lab, we went down and figured out what we had to get done, and proceeded to work on his math by counting out certain types of blocks involved in a building making game (contributed by previous Architecture students might I add) that just so happened to be Ben's favorite game. After we'd worked on that for a while we went back ate a snack, and filled out his end of day points sheet. I was told that I would be with ben for the remainder of the semester, so I look forward to seeing him next time.

I helped out Sofia again, we worked on homework, math in particular. We played a few games, and had a delicious snack of cookies, snack bars, and juice. I think it went much better this time because I knew the person already, and I was more relaxed because I knew what to expect. I hope it goes as well next time.

I volunteered at Homework-n-Hoops, run by the Bethlehem Community Center. I tutored a girl named Sofia, and helped her work on her math (multiplication). We played ping pong earlier in the day, and while working on her math, had a snack. I thought it went really well, we got a long great, and she told me that she like me as a tutor because I made things fun. I think next time would be even better if I was partnered up with the same person, or if I was a little more talkative right away.
