Date Hours Spent Reflection Picture time!
11/19/10 1 Children's Hospital of the King's Daughter (CHKD)

It helped to know that the bears I sowed were going to make some child smile through their pain.

11/27/10 6 More bears!!!! I took the bears home with me for Thanksgiving Vacation and my Grammy and I sowed them together. It was a BLAST! She even showed me a short cut....I hope I remember for next time!

During the days to the bottom left, I absolutely, positively, WITHOUT A DOUBT, enjoyed every single one of those kids! My child's name was Asia. She was a blast to work with. Each Thursday, she had something new to tell me, show me, or even (and get this), TEACH me. Asia was so smart and adorable. Her smile was the highlight of my day, despite whatever obstacles I may have encountered that day. I found myself looking forward to seeing her and helping her with her work...Her work wasn't always easy though. There were even some assignments that threw me for a loop. I never knew 4th grade math could be that difficult! Teaching her was a true challenge, yet a joy, because not only did it require me to reach deep down and sort of "transform" my thoughts into the mind of a 4th grader, but it also gave me the opportunity to be a kid again. I enjoyed coloring with her and playing hangman. We even played jump rope outside only for her to beat me in the challenge...Go figure. 

     Overall, Asia was a light in my life that I would have never experienced had it not been for the chance to work as a tutor. I didn't do her a favor, she did ME one. It was a service I will never take lightly. Hopefully, I will even be able to re-join for the upcoming semester!
