Boys and Girls Club visit # 4

Assessment
Today when I went to visit the Boys and Girls Club of America the girl that I was helping on Monday, Tadeka, came up to me and asked if I could help her again with her homework. This immediately made me feel that I had made a difference by helping someone who is less fortunate then I am. This gave me the confidence to help her with her vocabulary homework.  One of the words that Tadeka was working on was ancient; we had to make up sentence with the word in it. She deiced to write about ancient mummies in a pyramid. When we were writing this sentence, I kept thinking about Mr. Brown, and how he taught us about ancient Egypt. When we were reading, Tadeka asked me how old I was, and I responded saying that I was 13. She told me that her sister was also 13, but did not care about helping her like I did. By Tadeka feeling comfortable to tell me something so very personal I knew that she cared about her schoolwork, and probably wanted to be a good student. I realized that what I have learned so far in school is something that I can also teach to others.
