The clock was ticking slowly. The days were quickly passing. I could feel the sweat running down my forehead and sweet pink cheeks as I was walking to my first day of work. It was the beginning of September when I was going to have my very first job working as a homework tutor for the homework help center at the public library. Working as a homework volunteer has been the best job I ever had because I learned about responsibility, dedication to serving others and was working under a peaceful environment in which I was able to function. My task working as the homework tutor was to help elementary students with their homework. The environment inside the library was very peaceful often quiet. No one told me what to do or where to go. I could
The first day on the job site, Heather showed me around the building. Heather taught me some of the essential things to learn about teaching. When arriving

Wandering into the present I recall earlier that day volunteering with kids again at a different preschool. Hope fills my emotions when I look into the future at my job teaching two after school clubs starting in the fall. This is a new challenge that I will face, and I am excited to not only help children with math and reading but also to grow further as a person.
More’s career was able to grow far enough that he was able to serve alongside with King Henry VIII, and his opportunity’s continued to grow. Thomas was able to become Henry VIII’s most trustworthy and most successful servant. He was able to be the king’s confident, advisor, chief diplomat, chief writer, interpreter, and secretary. “More remained a passionate defender of Catholic orthodoxy - writing pamphlets against heresy, banning unorthodox books, and even taking responsibility when chancellor for the interrogation of heretics.” (Thomas More). More was able to quickly step up in government positions, leading him to grow more friendly with the

Crimes related to marijuana have gotten out of control in our society. With more than 750,000(MPP.org) people arrested annually on charges related to marijuana it's clear that a change needs to occur. A clear choice would be to crack down on the sale and manufacture of marijuana, but the smarter choice would be to legalize it.
Response: I remember struggling when it came to knowing anything about college and the whole process. So during summer, I join a college prep camp, it was a week-long camp. I learned a lot more about college and how easy it was to apply. They taught me about financial aid and about scholarships. How to spend your money wisely. Another educational challenge I faced was the SAT, I knew I needed help with that test. I knew nothing about it, I didn't know any strategies to help me. So I went to a month-long tutoring session, for three days out of the week. During the tutoring session, the tutors were showing us stuff like eliminating the wrong answers to get the right answers. At first, I kept scoring 500s on practice tests but when I took the
I worked and worked and worked. I loved my job! Everything was going great because
Aside from dancing at charity shows, I never had any hands-on experiences in community service in upper elementary or middle school. Upon entering high school, I found the perfect opportunity to give back to the community with many extracurriculars at my high school, West-Windsor Plainsboro North. From 2 years with UNICEF to 4 years with Tutoring Society, I have realized that the best way I contributed to society was through tutoring. Tutoring has given me instant satisfaction when I saw the students I tutored come back and tell me that they aced a difficult test. It has been great being able to connect with the students and learn more about them, and the subject being taught. My experiences as a tutor have expanded my horizons and taught
Race ethnicity and gender: Thankfully, today’s classroom seeks to be a global learning environment that is open to students of all cultures. Today’s classroom is a materialization of the distinct emblem of welcome authenticated by the Statue of Liberty. Teachers want to be sensitive to the needs of those students who do not fit into the common American races of blacks or whites. While gender has traditionally involved the clear distinction between male and female, there is also a third group – a group that represents a type of hermaphrodism that is either the result of biology or learned behaviors, and is often identified through the voluntary display of a preferential dress and/or behavior style.Today’s teachers have to deal with this triangular gender existence. Again, the group that is often discriminated against and ill-treated by other students is the one that does not match the norm
So, when I was at my tutoring job the other day, one of the teachers came up to me offering me a really great job opportunity in following her to a private school to become the teachers assistant. Due to the fact, I need healthcare benefits since I will soon be off my parents, I cannot let this opportunity go. Thus, I feel it is a time to accept a new challenge and is a great shot to pursue my career goals. Indeed, working at your home with your children was an educational experience and the affiliation I have made with your children will be memorable for years to come. That being the case, this is my two week notice, but during the next two weeks I am willing to help you in any way to make the transition as smooth as possible. As a result,
This last year, my weekends have been busy with tutoring sessions with two young boys. With one in third grade, and the other in second, it was rather difficult at first convincing them that I was their teacher, and not some babbling pre-teen. Since then, I have successfully been able to help them grow in areas such as english, math, and science. Teaching and tutoring came natural, as I come from a long line of educators and professors. I now look forward to my sessions with my boys, because I don't just notice their adorable giggles, or sinister smirks, but the potential each one of them holds. Needless to say, I have grown to love working with children, and hope it does not end there.
One late summer evening while babysitting for a neighbor, the mother asked if I would like to assist her with swim lessons. I was ecstatic! Helping with swim lessons would be perfect for me to gain more independence. I rushed home to tell my parents about my job opportunity. They both agreed to let me work as a swim coach assistant. Working as a swim coach would help me gain independence and show responsibility.
Over the course of second semester junior year, I was given the opportunity of tutoring children at a school a few blocks from my high school. As my classmates and I walked the 3 blocks down the street towards the old brick school, my apprehension grew. My only experience with small children at the time was babysitting family friends’ children while they were at dinner parties. What if the kids were boisterous and uncontrollable? Would I be able to reach the children or would I fail and not teach them anything? Luckily, my anxiety disappeared as soon as I walked into the second grade classroom and was greeted by twenty excited, smiling seven year olds. I was grouped with three amazing kids: Demaria, Wynn, and Malik. Wynn was very studious and
In 2009, I started volunteering at a neighboring nursing home. After three years of volunteering, I was hired as soon as I turned 16. After five consecutive years of volunteering and working at the same nursing home, I learned many important lessons from the close contact I had with
