First day of tutoring

[greybeta]

So, today was my first day working for GEAR UP, a program that helps fills out tutors at summer school programs. I chose to help out with a 7th grade math class. Now see, these kids are the ones who are there because they're behind. A lot of them don't want to be there. Then again, most kids would want to be anywhere else than school during the summer.

I was reminded that choosing to be a teacher has its own challenges. A big part of my time will be teaching kids who are considered to be below the average. People who are given less of a chance, statistically speaking.

Well, here I go and throw my hat into the ring.
