My first year of college I had the pleasure to work with some children at a local elementary school who desperately needed someone to spend time with them, mainly reading stories to them and helping out with homework. I was very lucky to have parents who read me books and instilled a love of learning in me from a very young age, and who gave me any additional educational support that I needed throughout school. I have always been thankful for that, especially after I spent time with them. Was really nice having a little buddy to spend time with, and was glad that I could help, even if it was in such a small way.

IAKG, hope your trip goes well. We will miss ya here!
