Something that stands out to me so far in tutoring is how smart these students are and how willing they are to learn and get better at writing. Tutoring has helped me better understand what I need to look for in my own papers when I write and try to make sure I have every small detail like quotes, page numbers, font, spacing and other stuff perfected to the best of my ability before I turn my paper in. I hope to make people’s life’s better, I’m not the smartest and don’t bring the most value to someone needed help on an English paper, but hopefully the people I tutor can feel the positive energy I have and hopefully makes their day better. Service learning has influenced my growth as a person in being able to speak to strangers that I would have never met in the first place and be able to have a conversation that not only makes my day better, but hopefully makes their day better too.
