Spring Break '09, OWW

Spring of 2009.
Normally I would go on a trip but this year I decided to stay and work with students. I didn't want to do something that I didn't want to do and be a follower so I decided to do my route. Dudley Johnson is my school's Resources Specialist and he knew that I was interested in doing some tutoring. About a week before Spring Break started, I got assigned what I needed to do. I was going to be tutoring a total of 6 kids raising their grades in math. I was in Eleventh Grade at the time so I thought this was going to give me a good feel on how to help others in math. The kids that I was going to be tutoring were ninth graders and they felt a little intimidated because I was helping them. By the end of the week, they all felt very comfortable in talking to me not only about their problems for math but in their personal lives too.
