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.

Daniel would have been 21 at the time of his last post, so if they claim he died at 20 that's inaccurate. The last I heard of him, he had fallen back into his depression and moved back to Fort Smith. Granted that was back in September. My fiancee and I try to ask around every so often to see if anyone we know has any new news. If I come up with anything else, I'll post it here.
