Gaining Experince

I have liked the experience working with others Alexandria. This included toddlers, children and youth. I also loved working with Michelle who is the coordinator and some of the volunteers that made the after school programs possible. Since I want to be a teacher, volunteering for Alexandria as a tutor was a perfect start for experience. Tutoring children on a one on one level was a good experience. I needed to be patient and a good listener. Children acquire much attention and that is something I did not realized. I also got to remember in my childhood years and acknowledge the fact that I was lucky enough to have some one the thing that some of these children do not have. These kids see Alexandria House as a place where they can escape their own home. When they come to Alexandria House they feel safe and protected because depending on the community that they live sometimes its better in Alexandria House. Volunteering in Alexandria has really helped me gain experience to become a teacher, mentor, and good role model.
