Journal 2

I'm very comfortable in Vieau already. I know several students by name since I've tutored them more than once at this point and I know nearly the entire staff. I never thought I would be so pleased that a student like Maria remembered my name after only one tutoring session. Now she always calls my name when she sees me and when we work together I can ask her more accurate questions about developments in her life because I'm getting to know her very well.

In the second half of the after school program I usually work with the science club but recently the science teacher served as a substitute for the gym teacher. Myself as well as other service learning volunteers were given the opportunity to join a soccer game and we did. I started off playing goalie and eventually I was moved out to forward to give others a rest. I played soccer until I was a sophomore in high school and I felt like soccer was a big part of these kid's life like it was a part of mine for so long.

Next time I'll be back at work with the science club and we can make more crazy contraptions.
