Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, the crazy that is Midterms has forced this blog to sit--finished--but unpublished!
I worked with another student this week, we can call him, Sam. Sam was really behind on some assignments but REALLY did not want to work on them. After finding him paper, lending him a pen, and helping him understand what he needed to be doing, he got to work. It was hard for him to not put his headphones in and keep focused. We finally did get a lot accomplished, but he flat out told me that when I left he was going to stop working, which made me a little sad, but I was glad we were able to get stuff done.
I would really like to work with Sam again. He was really nice and seemed to enjoy talking to me about his family and he and his father's fishing trips. I really enjoy when the kids at Classic City talk to me about their lives. Sometimes I can't help with their academics as much as I'd like to, but when they open up to me about things that are bothering them, I can at least be there for them and try to give advice.
