Back at the PLC!!!

My name is Hannah and this is my first time ever blogging! I am excited to blog about my time at the PLC! I was a tutor at Classic City High School last semester. I did not go with a class, but I heard about this unique environment and wanted to check it out. My experience was beyond amazing, and I am glad that I am able to continue tutoring there this semester. Maybe a short description of the experience I had last semester would be helpful... When I originally started tutoring I was assigned to a literature class and to a certain student, but he ended up being absent often and I started working with one girl almost every day named Tangela. At first, I think she was skeptical. She wondered why I wanted to come and tutor when I was not doing it for a class or anything. She was nice and polite, but I definitely felt shut out, and like she did not want much to do with me. After about 3 weeks of tutoring I felt lke we were making progress. She seemed to be doing much better in literature and began asking questions about my life and telling me some about hers. I could hardly contain my excitement! Our relationship continued to grow for the entire semester and we became so close. Tangela is an extremely hard worker, with an extremely positive attitude. She second guesses herself sometimes, but she is a very bright girl. Because I hope to teach high school English, I wanted to tutor this semester in a Literature class again. However, Mrs. Mimi (the graduation coach), encouraged me to instead help Tangela again in her Economics class, and during her advisement time we could work on EOCT and GHSGT practice. I knew this was an offer I could not refuse. :) I would be able to work with Tangela again and hopefully help her on her way to passing her big tests! This is sort of the background info you need to know to start off reading my blog about my experiences at the PLC this semester! Enjoy! :)
