Service Learning Project

I think this project would be a good way for me to start seeing what teaching is going to look like. This will help be more comfortable in a classroom where I am no longer the student. My main concern is whether or not I am going to be an effective teacher or tutor in this case. I still feel I am not prepared well enough to teach someone but I think this will help me get better. That was my only doubt when I heard about this project but now that I met some of the kids at the YWCA and interacted with a few of them, I'm sure it will be a great experience. It's important for me in order to get some experience as a teacher or leader. I hope that it will also benefit the students. The students I talked to said they really enjoy learning. When I asked one girl what her favorite book was, she said, "No one has ever asked me that before." That was just interesting to me because she said she enjoyed reading but maybe nobody helped her with her reading or took the time to talk to her about books. I know how important and beneficial it is for kids to read and I hope to encourage to become better readers and help them in any other way I can.
