    Tutoring at Webb Middle School

    I did not know what to expect considering that I have never tutored before in my life. However, Ms. Galindo welcomed me with open arms, and I could not be more thankful. I can truly say I enjoyed the whole experience. Volunteering at Webb Middle School allowed me to see many things. I walked into Ms. Galindo's 7th grade class, and I was very impressed by Ms. Galindo's influence on the kids. The kids welcomed us and began asking me for assistance on a writing exercise they were working on. After talking and interacting with the kids, it brought me back to when I was a 7th grader. I just felt so comfortable in that environment that I wanted to help kids with what I struggled with. Although teaching is not my major, I feel it is something I can definitely look into. I simply want to recommend going out and helping the community. Often times, I feel that students are not told that they can go to college; therefore, they do not try in school. I will definitely go back to give my time and help Ms. Galindo.
