Today March 19, 2012 an excited day for me going to volunteer at Stuchbery Elementary because I comity myself to mentor young kids to make a difference in helping them to succeed in school. The inside of the elementary look very quiet, the first think I saw on the left side front office and straight ahead was the cafeteria and stage.

   I had woken up having a wonderful day I was ready to helping kids and learn about the HOSTS program (Help One Student to Succeed). It had been really difficult for me and my partner to finally set this volunteer opportunity so I was definitely anxious to start. Being a HOSTS mentor for a week , interacting with kids and helping them in subjects that they struggle in class. I set myself to  take the responsibility and commitment to help them improve on material they struggle and to learn more about them how they feel about school.

I got the task to help a student name Seth with his reading and pronunciation of words. My first impression of seen this kids was his very energetic to do stuff. We step outside of the class room and set in the hall way to start reading. The teacher knew he needed help with his reading skill, I was willing to help Seth a much as possible to improve his reading as well helping him interacted with me to feel comfort. Working with Seth one on one can really help the kid fell comfortable in a way that he can express how he fell towards the subject of reading. He was capable of reading the book in which they’re some kids that need to be in a quiet environment to understand the reading. It was time for him to go to P.E class in which he left with a smile on his face, being glad that I help him one on one to improve on his reading made him feel safe that I can help.
