I have spent a lot of time working with kids through camps, after-school programs, and babysitting jobs. Helping kids excel in their academic life has always been one of my favorite parts of working with those kids. This past year I was part of a program which connected me to a community agency in New Orleans, LA called Desire Street Ministries where I co-taught in a classroom at an after-school program. During the year I was responsible for giving the kids one-on-one homework help and to specialize different worksheets and study times to help each child focus on areas in which they may struggle. It was so rewarding to get to know the kids enough to be able to observe areas in which they had more difficulty and to encourage them that they had what it took to improve. I also really looked forward to developing a worksheet or study session that targeted their weakest areas. It was a great way to have one-on-one time and to see the kids witness their own abilities to help themselves get the grades they desired.
