Tutoring at West Broadway for the past three months has been such an experience. It made me realize that it is not going to be easy on becoming a teacher. It is all about having patience, and believing that you can make it and do it. I enjoyed working with my six students. I liked getting to know them, and I enjoyed watching them improve throughout these three months. We are at different times and at different generations. My elementary school years were completely different from what they are today. This also has to do with where you live, your community and environment. I never realized that there is a big population of hispanics. It is amazing to see how generations are changing, and they are going to continue to change, up to and including we become teachers.
I personally would not be able to do elementary education. As much as I love children, I would not be able to control them. At least with high school students, they know how to behave and know when to stop. With elementary, I have to teach them all those steps. It was although a good experience, because there was a point on where I wanted to do elementary education, but was not positive. I enjoyed working with the little kids, because they always put a smile on my face. It was an excellent experience, and I hope that I will get a chance to do the same thing, but with high school students.
