The weekly visits to Tibbets Middle School have been a wonderful experience. Even though I am not pursuing a career in teaching, working with children has allowed me to experience something that I have always enjoyed. In high school I worked as a kid’s camp counselor at the Country Club for two summers. I loved working with the children and guiding them to learn new things and teach them new experiences. I have found this situation to be similar but now literature is involved. This makes the classes even more rewarding because I am offering the kids skills that they need and can take with them the rest of their lives.

I have never been shy while working with kids. I feel as though I am someone who has a lot of qualities to offer the children. I feel as though I am fully capable of guiding the children into the world of literature and offering them skills that they can use forever, even though I am not going for a degree in teaching.

I haven’t had the chance to be at the school more than a few times because of all the school holidays and the illnesses floating around Farmington, but I am making it a point to be at the school every Monday till the semester is over.

So far with the readings and the trips to Tibbets, I feel like I have earned a B in this class. This is because of the fact that I haven't been able to be at the school more than a couple of times. But I am doing well with keeping up with reading the books for my book list. Also, I almost have my genre page finished and I will be posting it later this week.
