Officially a tutor...

Monday was my first day at the library tutoring kids whenever they might have questions about their homework. i put on my bright blue Study Zone T-shirt and i even took out the "Math Master" button confidently to wear on my shirt. I brought a book in case it was slow but i pulled my eyes up once in a while to see if there were kids who looked like they might have a question. at first i sat by myself at an empty table so i would look like i were available to approach. but no body came. finally i overheard a couple of older boys telling a younger boy to "go ask the tutor" and then the younger boy replying "no i don't want to" and then the older boy saying "i don't have time to help. just go ask the tutor". finally i speak up... "do you have a question about your homework?" to which the younger boy goes "ok.... fine.." I moved over to the kids table (it felt strangely like school when you're sitting at the cafe and finally one group of kids takes pity on you sitting by yourself and welcomes you to sit with them at their table) and then i was able to help these kids with their math and music homework. It was a nice, relaxing change of environment from the hectic and oftentimes meaningless day at work. I'm glad I took this up. I'm looking forward to next week's session too :D I hope i see the kids again.
