    Over the course of my undergraduate career, I had many opportunities to participate in a wide variety of activities. During my freshman year, I volunteered as a tutor at the Door, a drop-in center in SoHo for disadvantaged teens and young adults. As a tutor, I worked with students preparing to enter GED programs or those already enrolled in GED programs, to solidify their academic skills and help them earn their high school equivalency. Growing up in a fairly affluent suburban town, I rarely witnessed the effects of inequity. As a tutor, however, I worked with young adults several years older than myself who had faced substantial challenges that prevented them from receiving a high school diploma. As I worked with my tutees, I learned more about the circumstances they experienced, and was humbled by their honesty and their resilience. I taught students who had extreme difficulty with simple mathematical operations, but unfailingly came to tutoring each week to keep working. I taught students who were determined to push past their earlier failures to go to college, and eventually, go on to graduate school. Perhaps most vividly, I remember a tutee who was a recent African immigrant, who at our first meeting told me that he wanted to write a novel. Having the privilege to witness the extent of human

    Through interacting with my students, I gained knowledge and insight on how to have students perceive me as a teacher and not as a peer. I have learned to speak with confidence and had my students address me as Ms. Brown. I also set rules during my lessons and asked my students to maintain respect while I was teaching. The rules I set in place included: raise a quiet hand to speak, talk only when you are called upon and respect each other and myself. By putting these rules in place I was able to show students that I was the leader in the lesson and not their peer. I also provided a stern tone when talking to students who were disrespectful. A student was continuously disrespectful to me, so I gave him a three strike rule that every period if he was disrespectful towards

    The lessons that I had taught for this week proved to be very challenging and somewhat wasteful task. On the bright side, this whole ordeal has pushed me to become more aware of what works and does not work for the students. I also have obtained better understanding of how important it is to check for students’ understanding throughout the lesson and keep them engaged throughout the lesson as well. Every one of my lesson plans included PowerPoints to present content for the subject of my lesson. I had even included quizzes at the end some of my PowerPoint to engage the students and check for their understanding. I had assumed that this would all go over well with the students, but I got two different reactions to my PowerPoints: disinterest

    I spent four years of my life in rural Plymouth, NH, surrounded by trees, wildlife, and white people. My private boarding high school was a drastic change from growing up in the Bronx, NY. It was quiet. At times the silence was peaceful but it was also a reminder that I was far from home. There wasn’t any public transportation; people had to use cars to travel. At night, the sky lit up with hundreds of beautiful bright stars; a rare sight in the city. Almost every faculty member that lived on campus either had a new born baby, dog or both. The majority of the faculty was white heterosexual males though there were women as well, but none of which were of color. In my four years attending Holderness, there were only two faculty members of color,

    After reading David’s story, I saw some similarities within myself. As a teenager, I often failed to complete things that I would start, often out of frustration. I never wanted to ask for extra help or an explanation given in a different manner. When I failed to understand something I would become frustrated and just not do it. I would often find myself, like David, dissatisfied with my work. I find that I over think a lot which results in creating a more difficult task then that which was set forth.

    This past week, a student was removed from the after-school program where I am a homework tutor. I chose this incident, since I am already getting accustomed to the number of students that are in the program, and now there is one less student. This student, “Rick”, goes to the program with his two sisters, and is often bickering with the younger sister. On the first day that I arrived to tutor, he hit his sister which caused her to cry and led to him being reprimanded by my supervisor. When this happened I was confused, and I felt out of place since I was in a new place. I was sitting at a separate table helping other students, so I also felt useless since I could not stop the incident from happening. I only go tutor on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,
