Personal Narrative: The Day I Got Out Of Class

It was a bright sunny Wednesday afternoon and I was walking towards my car. I got out of class early and was heading home to get myself ready to spend time with my bright and intelligent students. Sometimes when I get out of class my body feels overwhelmed and tired. Perhaps it feels this way because of all the things that are going on in my life like family, friendship, relationship, community service, and homework assignments. I feel like I am very busy that I often do not have time for myself. However when I arrived to El Jardin that quickly changes. The students that I work with on Wednesday fill my life with positive attitude and energy that I often forget about the worries and stress that I encounter during the day. I really love my Wednesday shift more than my Tuesday shift because I have a stronger connection and attachment towards the two girls that I work with. On Wednesday’s, I work with two bright and intelligent 6th grade girls named Arisa and Janet. Both of them have special qualities and a sweet kind heart. As I was walking to the classroom I was excited and ready to start a new day. I was excited to work with Arisa and curious to know what was the homework of today. As I was sitting at the table waiting for her to come I was developing questions and topics in my head that we could talk about in order to discover and learn more about one another.
By the end of the one-hour session, she felt more happy and confident. She was really enthusiastic and told me “Thank you this method was easier I finally understand it, I like how you explained it, and you explain it better than my teacher”. And she quickly smiles and gives me a hug. Hearing these sweet words from a 12-year-old truly made my day. Not only did I made learning easier for her but I also made her feel confident and
