Tutoring Experience
Tutoring at the Peace Community Center was a very precious experiences for me that I know I will carry with me as a grow older. At the community center I was in a small like conference room with three young me, helping a particular young man with his Algebra I homework. After completing the math work the young boys and myself took part in rewarding conversation getting to know one another. The spotlight soon shined on me and the young men began to ask me what school I attended and what grade I was in. I answer saying I went to Pacific Lutheran University and was a freshman. One young man who was not as involved in the conversation as the others quickly intervened when it was mentioned I went to PLU. He then gave his own testimony to me. He told me that he applied to PLU and was denied the privilege to attend. He had his heart set on going to PLU and knew everything that he was going to major and minor. PLU was the only school that he wanted to go to and now when he finished high school he would not be a student at his desired school of interest, PLU. The young man told me that he wasn’t going to go to college now after high school because he wasn’t accepted to school he wished to go to. I felt that his decision not going to college was a very dramatic conclusion. I gave the young man an idea that he could marinate on. I advised the young man to attend a community college and then apply once more to PLU after having experience at a community college. I could tell the young man took my advice into consideration and agreed that was an excellent idea and agreed to do that. |
