Heart Bursting
Got something I gotta share with you guys...
Been tutoring for the last 30 yrs, since I retired 2 yrs ago I have been able to put more time to this hobby. My regular program was shut down due to funding so had the wife put an ad in her workplace bulletin offering free tutoring.
Ended up working with 7 kids at different levels, in some cases the kids were failing (test scores 40% or less). Just got a note from 2 of the kids that worked their ass off, wrapped up their math & sciences in the low 90s, final grades were A's. The effect on their confidence was tangible. 2 of the kids were special needs so their growth is especially meaningful.
I was clear that the tutoring was free (has been since I started), a couple parents missed that and gave me Thank You cards with gift cards inside. Will be converting them to smaller value Tims cards that will be given to First Responders...I've done this before.
Weird feeling telling a cop or fire truck to pull over but feels good afterwards.
My heart is full
