Visit #6

Today when I visited the Boys and Girls Club, many exciting things happened. First, when I arrived ,we played outside on the giant big toy. Until this visit, we had always remained indoors .  After a while, everyone started to get cold so when went back inside for Power Hour. For the first 20 minutes of Power Hour, Tadeka wanted to play , her instrument, the viola to me. Although she this was her first year playing, she is already very good and most importantly, she seems to really enjoy it. When Tadeka was tired of playing the viola, she asked me if I could help her with her homework. Her first assignment was to match a group of words with their definitions . For this, I had to explain to her what many of the words meant so that she could then match the word correctly . After doing her English homework, she worked on her math homework. By the time Tadeka was on the second page of her math homework, everyone else was finished with all their homework. All the kids were asking Tadeka to hurry up, so that they could play hide and go seek in the dark. At one point when we were working on her homework, Tadeka told me that she was done and that she would finish the rest at home, but I told her, that because we started her math we were going to finish it. 10 minutes later, all her homework was completed and she was able to play with all her friends.  When I had to tell Tadeka that we were going to do her homework now vs. later, I felt like an adult. I have learned that the saying “ Do not put off  until  tomorrow what you can do today “ is very important to remember ,not only for doing your homework , but also for doing many things.
