Walking into Peabody Elementary School for the first time, I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was I had two kids to read to and help become a more avid reader. I was the first to tutor out of my group of three; I was thrilled to go first because it counted as my study table hours, and I didn’t want to attend study table at the time.
The Principal of the Peabody signed me in as a “STAR” tutor, and she lead me to a room full of unique activities for the kids to play and a variety of books. I had the privilege of picking what activities I wanted to do with kids, which took the LONGEST time because I didn’t know what to do at the moment. But as time progressed, I got more comfortable tutoring at Peabody and loved tutoring and just being around the children, getting to know them one on one and growing a relationship with them. I thought the Christmas cards they sent out to all the “STAR” tutors were really special; those cards were beautiful, thoughtful and probably the prettiest card I’ve ever received. I felt good about myself because I felt I was making a difference in someone’s life.
It has been an adventurous road for me. Being able to help children and see them grow as an individual is a great feeling to me. I am glad that I took on the role ofbeing a tutor at Peabody Elementary School; I plan on continuing my services there next school year if possible.
