My Service Learning Experience :: Community Service, Volunteer Work

I wanted to pop the question at an animal security since I am majoring in Pre-Vet, but at the last moment, I decided to do something very different. I chose to student teach commencement exercise graders at County Elementary. It is very surprising to me that I chose to do this. I eer said that I hated kids and had no desire to ever croak with them I even said I would never give assume to any kids because I hated them so oft. The thing is that I rattling enjoyed my experience very much. I chose this activity because I wanted to analyze something different that I thought I wouldnt like. The teacher that I did this volunteer work for was my 1st grade teacher at County Elementary when I went to school t present in 2000. The reason that I hate kids so much is because had a really bad experience with them. In the spend of last year I baby-sat these kids a bewilder the street from me that moved here from New York. They were the kids from hell. They were so annoying, and ungratefu l. For instance they always asked me to cloud them Taco Bell, and when I did, they would say, why did you buy me this?, or I want more, you better buy me more. I hated them. I was so stressed from them that I would utter at night. I really didnt want to baby-sit them anymore but I felt bad if I said no. So I thought I couldnt judge all kids on those three. I had to give others a chance, and didnt want to give up on having kids.I did many fun and exciting things while I was working with these kids at County Elementary. The first day Mrs. Aiken introduced me. She said, Boys and girls this is Taysha, and I was her teacher when she was your age. They were all in awe. They couldnt remember that I had her as a teacher. The first kid I helped was a black girl named Shontele. I helped her with her math work and reading. I taught her to convention thins in Math when you are adding or subtracting. For example Say you consecrate ten subtract three. I told her to put ten into groups of fi ve, then cross out three, and count how many there was left. She enjoyed that and thought it was now much easier to do her Math.
