During biology class this morning, Ms. Kehoe made some accusations that I had not been dedicated to this activity and that I spent too much time distracted by girls while I was tutoring. I was stunned by these grossly inaccurate perceptions. I have stayed after the most out of anyone, and I am always willing to help someone when they need it. Even the other tutors agreed with me and seemed shocked by her claims. However, I will not let this phase me, and instead I took this opportunity to consider the ethical implications of my actions. Perhaps my leisurely method of tutoring was rubbing Ms. Kehoe the wrong way, so I will make sure from now on that I am completely dedicated to the student that I am helping. Besides that, I don't know what else to do except stay after as many days as possible to demonstrate my commitment.
After school today I had a tennis meeting, so I was only able to help tutoring for about 20 minutes. Marliee and I helped only one student who had stayed after for help, but I think we were very effective tutors. We worked together very well to figure out the answer to the problems, and once we knew exactly what we were doing we explained it to the student without simply feeding him the precise response. I was very pleased with the collaboration of the three of us and the tutoring went quickly and easily. This was also a great opportunity for me to develop new skills as I was able not only to review the new topic of respiration, but also delve deeper into certain equations and theories so as to achieve a greater understanding of them. I am so glad that I chose to do this CAS activity because I am able to do service in which I help others, better myself, and even learn about biology.
