It always feels nice to teach people who need help and you are one of them who was able to help them. After days of searching for the right volunteer opportunities that would fit my schedule, I decided to work for Math Tutoring since Math is the only subject that I always feel confident about. I ask my teacher, Ms. Joseph, for information and she sent me to Room 54 and there's a teacher that told me to simply sign-up and wait for people to ask for help.
I was amazed for the first time that I realized how people are struggling for solving each problem that it took me a long time just to explain a problem for a person. There were only three tutors which is me, a student and a teacher who were all busy with their tutoring that sometimes I had to tutor two students at the same time. Most of the time I felt that I had hard time explaining the key to solve a problem since the way people think is not the same so I had to use draft paper from the basic they are lacking. I had to open myself and show with my action that I am a "nice" person because we are almost the same age and one of the person I was helping might be feeling embarrassed or afraid of getting mock at since I was explaining at him the same thing over several times. On the second time I went there, I met the same people and I helped them again. I think that they are improving more with basic needs when I saw them again which tell me that they really want to learn.
I was proud and glad that I was able to help with something that I am good at and the students who need help would also be happy that there are people who are willing to help them. For me, I want to do Math tutoring again since it's fun teaching people and the people are actually nice that we, tutors, sometimes help each other with the things we forgot or didn't know how to solve a problem. If you want to volunteer for Math Tutoring you can ask your Math teacher for more information and they will sent you where to go base on what subject you want to teach.

I personally love helping others with so many opportunities throughout my life it is hard to say that times don’t get tough but the best way to see improvements is to help them out and not quit. I haven’t found a single person that didn’t make any progress. As your tutoring you will find a way to teach every student faster and you will learn many to handle different situations I know for sure that as time progress it will get easier.
I think it is such a nice feeling knowing you helped someone with something they were really struggling with.it takes alot of patience and i see you have that! Keep up the good work because you are really helping kids.
