Tutor’s Hard at Work Teaching Their Second

Grade Students.

I started volunteering for the C.C.S.C program during the summer of 2013 and I fell in

love with not only the program and the staff, but the

students. It was at this point that I realized that I wanted to

change my profession to teaching.

What I learned and Felt Working directly with the students gave me the opportunity

to appreciate teaching from a different prospective. Teaching is not an easy job, you have to have the desire and the passion to work with students from all different walks of culture, life and adversities.

I learned that to become an effective educator, that it takes a village of educator’s who wants to impact, inspire, and change the lives of our youth; to empower and motive them to achieve their goals inside and outside of the classroom.

I learned how to be patient because each student is unique and they all have their own learning styles and their own personalities. They taught me how to embrace the process of learning.

Volunteering with my community program gives me a since of sense of enjoyment to give back to educate the new generation as I have been educated.

I am honored to give back my time and my educational knowledge to my community. I love to help people, I feel it is my purpose and I feel empowered knowing that I am changing the lives of our young people.
