Education is such a vital part of success in anyone’s life. Typically, the first 18 years of a person’s life is dedicated to education and learning. Yet, there are huge majorities of under privileged children and teenagers whose education hinge on their economic status. Without money, tutors and after-school programs are not an option.
Every week, I volunteer with an after school ministry that tutors children coming from low income homes. My tutee’s name is *****. When ***** was in 1st grade, his reading level was one of a kindergartner, while his math level a little higher. After discovering that ***** was getting limited help in tutoring due to his parents late night work shifts and such, He was placed under my tutelage.
What good is an education if I don’t turn around and use my skills and learning to help others? ***** is now is third grade and progressing along with his other classmates. Without help in his education, He would have been held back and deprived of an education that every child deserves. It has been such an exciting journey to help him along the path of learning that will benefit him for the rest of his life! Not only has *****’s education been enriched, but in helping others, I have ultimately helped myself.
