This week I returned to the school where I have been volunteering. It was a much better experience. The students were calmer and I was able to aid the teacher by working with some struggling students. One of these students did not want me to help the other student and became very angry. He would put on his backpack and said he was going home. The teacher took the situation in hand and did not feed into his anger. He finally settled down and finished his lesson. This child has many anger issues that I observed the last time I was there. The plus to my experience for the week was the reception I received from the other students. They were happy to see me and I received many hugs. The teacher was able to keep the students more engaged in their lessons and it was more productive than the last time. She is also starting to trust me and I feel we are going to develop a working relationship that will benefit the class as a whole. Also my sister-in-law and I donated snacks. The teacher was so appreciative and stated that is the first time for this type of donation. I am starting to enjoy my journey and will continue to volunteer.
