This was another great opportunity to mentor the children from kindergarten through fifth grade. I volunteered at this school regularly, assisting mentors from both Aggie Men and Mentoring for Her.
I was able to read aloud to first graders struggling with reading. I was able to help them navigate issues with pronunciation, vocabulary, etc.
I was able to help mentor kids during school, as well as during their after-school program. It was an amazing and fun opportunity to give the kids encouragement regarding their academics.
I have assisted with Honors Weekend every year, and it is one of my favorite events. For this first year, I was assigned to the Waiting Room, where we gave scholars advice, answered questions, and gave encouragement. I ended up staying even longer than my assigned shift as the interviews went on due to other scholars having conflicts with the times they signed up for.
I was able to read aloud to first graders struggling with reading. I was able to help them navigate issues with pronunciation, vocabulary, etc.
I was able to attend and help with the Feb One Scholars Packaging Party, where we made first-aid kits and wrote words of affirmations.
